San Antonio at Houston

Premium Pick

Both of these teams have plenty of offensive firepower with the first two games sailing OVER the total. San Antonio has gone six straight games OVER. The Spurs come off a win at home in Game 2 but are 6-15 ATS when following a straight-up win. They also lose playmaker Tony Parker for the rest of the playoffs, who averaged 15.9 points in eight postseason games, a sharp increase from his 10.1 regular-season mark. Houston was second in the NBA in points scored during the regular season (115 points per game) and is averaging that in the playoffs despite facing better defensive teams - an up-tempo squad that was also #26 in points allowed. Star guard James Harden had 20 points, 14 assists in Game 1 and is averaging 12 assists in the two contests. Grab the home team in another offensive show. Take Houston and the OVER.
