Lakers/Nets under 197.5 (best bet)
With the matchups, see this game played more in the half court. Without Howard, less points in the paint and more jumpers, and Nash/Kobe will face two bigger guards. Lakers scoring less this road trip as the competition gets stiffer. An important game where both teams should bring some defensive effort. 3 refs combined avg. less than 195/gm and when the total is between 195-204 are 16-25 to the under.
Warriors/Rockets over 216.5 (best bet)
No surprise the pace of these teams favor higher scoring games, and although the W's have shown some steady defense lately, the Rockets only play one way. W's don't mind and get 3 happy when given the opportunity. Each team off two days rest should have plenty of legs. 3 refs combined avg. over 197/gm and are 62-46 to the over overall and 6-3 to the over when the total is over 205.
GL everyone.
