10* NON-CONF TOTAL OF YEAR - 22-11 L9 DAYS
(NBA) Houston vs. Orlando,
Total: 229.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the UNDER Houston/Orlando.

I'm expecting a slower-pace here as each team tries to find its offensive groove in its first game back from the break.

Houston fell 142-111 at home to the Clippers in its final game before the break. Note that it's seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last nine after a SU/ATS home loss in which it allowed 135 or more points in.

The Magic play with revenge here after falling 118-116 at Houston in early December. Note that they've seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent.

The Rockets only average 108.5 PPG, while Orlando only averages 103.3. I expect each to struggle to hit their offensive seasonal averages today.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
