LOSS

The Houston Rockets love to get out and run and are at their best when doing so, but the bloom is starting to come off the rose. After a 12-game run their offense was averaging 112.6 points per game, but has been slowed of late especially on the road, where they have averaged just 92.5 ppg in their last four. Who better than the slow them down further than the defensive-minded Indiana Pacers? The Pacers have choked off opposing offenses to a league-leading 89 ppg, and also own the league's best rebounding margin, so there will few second looks for Houston here. The Pacers have controlled the court at home, and it has led to a 9-1-1 UNDER mark in their last 11 games on home hardwood. With fresh legs, they are 6-0 to the UNDER overall in their last six on a day of rest. The UNDER has also gone 6-2 verdict in the last eight in this series at Indiana. Take the UNDER in this one.
