They will sweep Utah. Let's say they lose 1 game to Portland or LAC.
If they enter WCF with 1 loss SA and Cleveland could both take them to 6 and it would still go under.
Either they'd have to lose 2 games in the WCSF, or SA or Cleveland would have to take them 7.
I'd lean under here, but there's not tremendous value in it, especially the way it's shaded.
If they sweep the first two rounds, which is certainly possible, the under would be almost locked up.
Also to be considered is that if the Spurs beat them in the WCF they can't lose another game in the finals. So they could enter the WCF with one loss, and lose that series, and it would stay under.
