Rockets are 4th in the league in defense against 3pt shots made, which is an entirely different narrative than last season and the beginning of this season. They still have deficiencies with scoring, only averaging 109.4 points per game this season which is ranked 27th. On a back to back and heading to play Golden State who pride themselves on the deep ball, Houston should lean more on their defense tonight and not get into a fire fight. Houston's post game with Sengun is doing well right now too, and that's where you can attack Golden State successfully so I expect a patient offensive approach from Houston, paired with smothering defense to prevent Steph and company from getting fast, quick points from deep. 4 of the past 5 meeting have gone Under too, as well as many of the games that have involved weaker offenses vs Golden State this season (Cavs, Nuggets, Timberwolves, last meeting with the Rockets)

Official Play: Under 221

Side Bet: Sengun Over his Points Prop

Hail Mary: Rockets +7.5
