San Antonio at Houston

Probably the two most defensive-minded teams in the NBA go at it in Houston tonight. These teams really like to crank up the "D," especially when they face each other. Houston has been 89-43 ATS to the first-half under since 1996 when playing a .700 team or higher. San Antonio has been 33-21 to the first-half under when playing a winning team on the road over the last two years. San Antonio is also 46-27 to the first-half under when plying against a team with a .700 or higher winning percentage. Defense prevails early, as these two show how it's done. We will take the first-half UNDER here.
