The Houston Rockets clamped down on defense in three games of their Western Conference first-round series against Oklahoma City Thunder, allowing just 80, 104, and 102 points respectively. The Lakers last two games against Portland both saw 250+ points, but the first three went under the total.

Under is 7-2 in Rockets last 9 playoff games as an underdog and 10-4 in Rockets last 14 overall.

The over/under us 22-25-1 in the playoffs and I can't help but think the total for this contest is inflated.

8* play on UNDER 226.
