Portland at Houston

The Portland Trailblazers and the Houston Rockets played to a game one total of 242 points. These teams are both built for offense, and defense is just a myth. That sets an interesting historical situation for this one. When a pair of playoffs teams collide after producing more than 234 combined points in their previous meeting, the OVER is 22-9. That 22-9 goes to 20-2 if we have a more conventional total - not too high or too low. The total range here is from 191.5 to 219.5. It is hard to conceive these explosive offenses that both like to run, and the history that precedes them, that they don't easily rise above the total here. Make the play on the OVER.
