This is an 8* play on the OVER between the Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks.

When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we look for this total to sneak above the posted number. James Harden scored 50 points to help his team beat Philadelphia 116-114 on Friday for just the Rockets second win in their last nine games. Houston will be plenty motivated to keep the momentum rolling as well after falling 107-102 to New York last Saturday. The Knicks won't be rolling over though obviously and could care less about the struggling Rockets issues and will be especially motivated after a listless 97-78 home loss to Miami last time out. Note that Houston has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last five after scoring 105 points or more and in six of its last ten as a road favorite of 3 points or less, while New York has seen the total eclipse the posted number in two of its last three after three or more consecutive UNDERS and in eight of its last 15 as a home dog of three points or less. Play on the OVER.
