This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Dallas/Houston.

Dallas has seen the total go UNDER in five straight. It only averages 106.9 PPG this year. It's coming off four straight victories, including a 99-82 victory at home over the Warriors two nights ago.

And that's significant to note as the Mavericks have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last nine after a SU/ATS home victory in which they held their opponent to 90 or fewer points in.

Houston broke an eight game SU/ATS losing streak with a 114-111 win at Washington in its most recent matchup. Previous to that though the Rockets had seen the total soar OVER the number in four straight games.

I believe Houston pushes the pace to try and build on its latest win and the Mavericks will have to keep up.

In this faster-paced affair, look for this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
