The fact that the lowly Houston Rockets are off a horrific offensive shooting performance vs the Knicks in their last game, the total here seems to be shaded a bit. The Rockets averaged 116.3ppg in their previous 3, so a poor shooting night at 37% had a lot to do with it. Dallas has been uptempo over their last 4 games, and Luka Doncic is in a zone making everything. The Mavericks have averaged 126.3ppg over those 4 games and have shot well over 50% in the 4 game average. These teams met just a few days ago and produced 243 total points, and I don't see this one being much differnet. Make the play over the total.
