Golden State vs Houston Over

[mlathrop3]

I've seen a few of you on this board taking the Under in this game. I like the over. I think that Golden State puts up 120+ in this one.

This is an awful matchup for Houston. Golden State's style of play completely takes out Dwight Howard on the defensive side of the ball as they will just shoot over the top. This could easily turn into a Curry vs Harden show with not much passing and quick possessions.

Remember, we are talking about the 28th ranked defense with Houston here. This is not a team that can 'limit' Golden State to 116 points like OKC just did. Especially on the road.

Should be an entertaining game either way! Will be fun to see Golden State drop 140 at home.

Golden State will score, just not sure about Houston. They can't be trusted.

If OKC GS couldnt go over 230 I don't think this can. Leaning under actually

Just hoping GS wont be up huge at halftime and then its all scrubs from both teams and scoring might be in trouble

OVER 230

OVER 230

In that case, maybe Over 115-116 1H is the stronger play.

230?!?!

0.000% value in betting overs this high in the NBA unless you get juicy +odds

Gotta go under just on principle

Really? We have the #1 and #4 offenses in the league and one defense is #28. Thinking this is an auto-bet is a TRAP.

Here are the O/U results of the 5 games in the past 2 & 1/2 years, like Hou/GS tonight, where both teams are on 2 days rest, the home team is playing the 2nd game of a homestand, the road team played its previous game at home, with a 19:30 local time start:

-25.5

-35.0

-3.0

-10.0

-21.0

Granted, this is an extremely small sample size, but the results are extreme and unanimous.

Looks pretty good for the over so far. 1H over 119 has already hit and Houston keeping it relatively close.
