Schule's NBA *TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE* - UTAH@HOU
(NBA) Utah vs. Houston, 03/23/2016 4:00 PM, Score: 89 - 87
Total: 199.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on UTAH@HOU to go OVER the total.

Because the Jazz are one of the top defensive teams in the NBA, we often see the bookmakers adjust with a lower number, even in games against teams like Houston that tend to play a lot of high scoring games. I don't think they have paid enough attention to Utah's home/away splits though, as clearly their road record of 12-23 would indicate that their defense isn't that strong away from Salt Lake City.

The Rockets are coming off back to back losses on the road, but they've won four of their last five home games. Houston ranks 4th in the league in scoring, but they are one of the league's worst defensive teams in the NBA, allowing opponents to average 107 points per game. Four of the last five meetings in this series have gone over the total, and the Rockets have gone over the total in 13 of their last 16 when playing on back to back nights.

Take OVER.
