Houston at New Orleans

It is tough to discount the fact that high-octane Rockets have reached the 110-point mark in 8 of their last 11 games. But, New Orleans is the polar opposite, especially at home where they are going to do everything they can to drive the game to a screeching halt. The lowest output for the Rockets in their last five occurred at home vs. New Orleans as the game couldn't get to the 200-point mark for the first time in the Rockets' last seven. New Orleans’ last nine games at home vs. a winning team have seen eight of them fail to make it to the 200 mark. Also, 10 of their last 14 vs. a winning team have also failed o top the total. The Rockets’ last 11 vs. a team below .400 have seen 8 of the 11 fail to make the total. In this series, eight of the last nine here have fallen shy of the total. Play on the UNDER.
