Memphis at Houston

The Houston Rockets have a much different approach than we saw from this team at the end of last season. Houston not only scored 100+ points a lot, over their last 19 games from a year ago they scored 110 or more in 10 of the 19, a mark they achieved just one time the entire season and that was vs. Washington. Memphis has played three straight games where both teams reached the century mark, but those were vs. more up-tempo offenses, and their game prior to that was vs. Memphis where just 176 total points were scored. That performance was more indicative of what we will see here tonight, as the Grizzlies are 9-2 to the UNDER in their last 11 as a road dog. Houston is much different than a year ago, and is now 14-5 to the UNDER in their last 19 home games, and is also 5-0 to the UNDER off no rest. This series has an elongated history of falling shy of the total when playing in Houston, with a 17-5 mark to the UNDER in the last 22 here. Play the UNDER.
