This is a 10* TOTAL SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT on the OVER Houston/LA.

Three of four in this series have gone UNDER the number, but I believe that Game 5 will blast past the number sooner, rather than later.

The Rockets have lost three straight to the Lakers and they'll be pushing the pace here as they try to get back into this series. The only way that Houston is going to be able to do that is to shoot a lot of three balls.

LA is a great defensive team which likes to play at a slower pace, but it's filled with offensive talent that can score with the best of them in the league.

I think LA attacks though too, it wants to end this series here and now as it prepares to face off against the Clippers.

Finally I'll point out that LA has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last ten after playing to two or more straight UNDERS and winning both those contests at the same time.

This number is a tad low, the play is the OVER!

Good luck, NP
