(NBA) Boston vs. Houston, 03/13/2023 8:00 PM, Score: 109 - 111
Total: 231.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Boston is the third-highest scoring team in the NBA. The Celtics got their shooting confidence back, beating the Hawks, 134-125, in their last game two days ago.

Now the Celtics draw the Rockets, who rank 28th defensively.

The key is if the Rockets will contribute their share of points to get this total Over. Look for that to happen.

If you discount a 96-point game against the Nets, the Rockets are averaging 122.5 points in regulation during their last four games. They are fully healthy now and in good offensive rhythm with numerous scoring options.

The Celtics play at a much faster pace and are more vulnerable defensively minus injured center Robert Williams.
