The Houston Rockets are always considered an offense-first team. There is no doubt when James Harden is hitting frequent threes that the Rockets tend to soar. They are now without Chris Paul and Clint Capela and the pressure is on others to step up, and the most likely step up is going to have to take place on the defensive end. Despite their 138 points last night, the Lakers without LeBron James have not been near as offensive and overall covering their last 16 games they have played to a 12-4 mark to the UNDER. I don't think this one gets there, so take the UNDER.
