This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Rockets/Warriors.

We played the OVER in Game 5 and that would come up well short, as Houston has put together two of the most impressive defensive performances that we've seen so far in the Playoffs. But with their backs against the wall, we're expecting the Warriors to come out fired up at home and to push the pace of this contest from start to finish. Obviously the injury to Houston guard Chris Paul is big and its the reason why this line is so inflated. Paul has been pivotal in helping out defensively and he also stretches the Warriors' defense because of his stellar offensive play. The Rockets are an entirely "different" team without Paul in the line-up and we think Golden State will finally be able to "find its stroke" again. Also note that Houston has seen the total go OVER the number in five of seven already this year when leading in a playoff series, while the Warriors have seen the total go OVER the number in six of nine already this season after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERS. All signs point to a higher-scoring shootout in this pivotal contest. Play the OVER.
