Houston is traveling to Utah for the 3rd game of the series and the Jazz are leading by 2-0. The Rockets know that if they lose tonight, they are out of the playoffs so they will fight very hard tonight.

With the spread given by the bookies, it is very difficult to predict the winner, but I think that the total points given is a very good bet. In the 2 games at Houston the total points scored were 175 and 174, but Houston was very bad offensively. I think that Houston tonight will be better offensively, because they know that this is the only way to win the game against Utah. In the regular season the 3 games between the teams had 201, 201 and 186 points (the first 2 were held at Utah and the 3rd at Houston).

Utah so far is scoring 105.9 points and allowing 99, while Houston is having 96.4 and 92.0, at offense and defense. Also, Utah when playing at home are averaging 109 points offensively and 94.6 defensively, with Houston averaging 95.6 and 94.1 when playing on the road. Moreover, when playing against teams from the Western Conference, Houston is scoring 97.0 points and allowing 93.4 with Utah having 106.3 and 99.4. Utah, when, they are favorites by a spread of 10 or less points are having 107.5 at offense and 100.5 at defense. Houston, when they are underdogs by 10 or less, they are scoring 96.7 and allowing 97.8 points. Finally, at their last 5 games we are having 98.4 - 93.6 for Utah and 89.8 - 94.8 for Houston.

I think that tonight's game will have more points than 182, because Houston will try very hard to win it, but Utah isn't an easy team to defeat.
