This is a 9* TOTAL ANNIHILATION on the UNDER Rockets/Kings.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I like the way this one sets up as a lower-scoring defensive affair finally.

Houston has lost eight straight. It's seen the total go OVER the number in two of its last three despite still only averaging 109.2 PPG.

These teams played just two nights ago and the Kings won in a blowout by a score of 135-115. That total sailed well OVER the number, but I'm expecting a much more defensive affair here.

The Kings have seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but note that Sacramento has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last six after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
