This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER between the Rockets/Heats.

Houston is 15-14. After a slow start, James Harden and company are now finally starting to look a little better. Especially on the offensive end. The last thing Houston will want to do here is to get trapped into playing the Heat's "game" here. The Rockets are going to be looking to push the pace from start to finish. Most recently Houston beat Utah 102-97, while Miami enters off a 102-96 road win in New Orleans on Sunday. These are two teams which have struggled to put points on the board at times this year, but each is hungry and neither should be holding anything back. It sets up nicely from a situational stand point as a higher-scoring affair. Also note that Houston has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of nine non-conference games this season, while Miami has seen the total go OVER in not surprisingly ten of its last 15 vs. good offensive teams which average more than 106 PPG. This number is a little low, play the OVER.
