This is a 10* play on UNDER Houston-Golden State

Last year's Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and Warriors resulted in far more Unders (5) than Overs (1). It was a seven-game series remember (Game 1 total pushed) and the Rockets had a 3-2 series lead before Chris Paul was lost to a hamstring injury. The Under trend continued in the regular season with three of four games games going that way. It's not as if the two teams have something against scoring, it's that their respective reputations have led to consistently high totals. It's usually a hard fought game when they play with more defense being played than the public thinks. Houston won three of the four regular season games, holding Golden State under its season average three times, the exception being an overtime game. The Rockets have gotten a lot better defensively down the stretch as well. They just held Utah to an average of 97.8 points and 40.0% shooting in the first round series. The Under is 16-5 the last 21 times they have played Golden State and 21-8-1 their last 30 games overall. We expect Golden State to defend reasonably well here as well.
