We're seeing an bloated total (as per usual between these two teams) when the Golden State Warriors host the Houston Rockets Tuesday night. It's however worth noting that the under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings, and I think this one will stay under the total as well.

The Rockets have been among the highest scoring teams in the NBA through the last couple of seasons, and now they've added nine-time All-Star Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers to the mix. It might take same time for Paul to blend in with the rest of the team though, and how will James Harden feel about Paul coming in as the primary ball-handler?

The Warriors are the reigning champions, and not only thanks to their amazing offense. This is a team that can play D as well, and we can note that Golden State managed to shut down Harden quite effectively last season. Harden was harassed into 23-for-73 shooting (31.5%), including 5-for-34 (14.7%) on 3-pointer, while totaling more turnovers (26) than shots made (23) in four matchups.

My selection is an 8* play on Under.
