Golden State at Houston

Oddsmakers had to go wild with this total, but they've overlooked the fact that Golden State is focusing quite a bit on defense. After a flameout before the All Star break, Coach Mark Jackson read the team the riot act, telling them they can't compete focusing solely on offense and that either play defense or he'll find someone who can. The Warriors are on a 4-2 run UNDER the total holding the uptempo Kings to 83 points, the Knicks to 63 and this Houston offense to 94. That was a 94-88 defeat going UNDER the total by 41 points on March 8th! They are 4-0 UNDER the total against the Western Conference and 39-16 UNdER the total in Sunday games. This is also a pivotal game in the standings as Golden State is trying to stay in the No. Sixth spot in the Western Conference, with the Rockets on their tail. Houston is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total. The oddsmakers are again making the total too high and note that the UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Houston. Play the Warriors/Rockets UNDER the total.
