Game Totals Pick
Under 224.5(-110)

The San Antonio Spurs will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation when they visit the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. In the second legs of Miami’s 7 back-to-backs this season, the games have produced 224 points or fewer on 4 occasions. Another one finished with 225. Another relatively low-scoring game could be in the cards. The under is 8-1 in the Spurs’ last 9 overall and 6-0 in their last 6 on the road. It is also 11-2 in the Rockets’ last 13 games. Additionally, the under is 6-2 in the last 8 head-to-head meetings. I will roll with those trends for my Spurs vs Rockets prediction, which is Under 224.5.

Houston plays at the fourth-slowest pace in the NBA (101.1 possessions per game). San Antonio is in the bottom half of the association in that department. Moreover, Spurs guard Devin Vassell (15.0 ppg) has missed the last 11 games and is doubtful for Tuesday. Houston is without Tari Eason (12.0 ppg). A total of 231 points were scored when the Spurs and Rockets squared off on November 7 in San Antonio, but it should be noted that Houston shot 13-of-27 from 3-point range and the 2 teams combined to go 42-of-46 from the free-throw line. Those are numbers that are unlikely to be replicated. I’m rolling with the under.

Spurs vs Rockets prediction: Under 224.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
