This is a big total, but consider who these two teams are and what the situation is.

The Rockets rank 27th defensively giving up 117.2 points per game. They also rank 27th in defensive field goal percentage and 3-point defense. Houston has surrendered at least 120 points in seven of its last eight games.

Pathetic defense, right? Way until you see San Antonio's defensive numbers. They're even worse.

The Spurs allow 121.3 points a game. That's last in the NBA. San Antonio also is last in defensive field goal percentage and 3-point defense. The Spurs have surrendered 117 or more points in 10 of their last 11 games.

Both teams should play loose and fast with nothing to lose being bottom feeders. The Spurs, who have lost 11 in a row, last played on Sunday so they definitely will have plenty of energy. Houston has been idle the past two days. The Rockets catch the Spurs without their injured center Jakob Poeltl, whose absence is a plus for the Over.

This is the first meeting between the two teams. The Over cashed in each of their four games last season.
