Team Totals. It is a simple bet, one with historical data to leverage and an easy rooting interest to understand. Here, Cal TT will take you through the game of the day using wit, readily available information, and vibes. I cannot stress this enough. Data and vibes are the backbone of a team total pick.

Last night, Al Horford turned back time. He was everywhere defensively, making hustle play after hustle play. He also shot 50% from three-point range, none as big as the meaningless three-pointer under a minute left to win our team total. Thank you, Al. Tonight, we return to the ice and more specifically, the ice-cold Rangers who have dropped the last two and seem to be trending downward and on the precipice of a classic playoff collapse. Their team total tonight is set at 2.5. Let's talk about it.

As mentioned, the Rangers have turned into a pumpkin since 17:56 of game four, scoring just one goal in almost the last four periods. The New York Rangers might just be some bad boys for breaking their fans' hearts and seem to be freee- free falling. That being said, game five was the first time this entire postseason the Rangers have not scored 3 goals in the postseason theta re averaging 3.33. So tonight, on the road, I am leaning into history rather than heresy. I like the Rangers to score at least three goals.

The Pick: New York Rangers Team Total Over 2.5 (+100)
The Record: 6-3
