Houston at Utah

Houston made a huge statement in game three handing the Jazz just their fifth home loss of the season. The return of Rafer Alston was the difference as T-Mac got some much needed offensive help. With that added option, Houston added 11 points to their average score from games one and two. Utah was simply off last game offensively. They managed just 92 points. That was a fluke. At home this season tehy averaged 108.6. Yes, Houston is a solid defensive team, but Utah is much better than that. We expect Utah's offense to have much more success tonight and push this game OVER this low number. Over the past three seasons Houston is 14-4 OVER following three straight games where both teams scored 95 or less. All three of the first games were low-scoring battles and it seems the UNDER is the play. But, we think this game will be different and we like the OVER.
