The San Antonio Spurs come in with the 2nd best record in the NBA at 355 overa;;, but they may be playing the best ball in the league as they have won 7 games in a row and have outscored their opponents by an average of 21.4 ppg over that stretch. The offense has been mediocre for the most part this year as they come in ranked 10th in the league in scoring, putting up 102.4 ppg, but in their last 7 games that offense has exploded for an average of 109.7 ppg. That makes this team even scarier if they get their offense going as they currently hav the best defense in the league that has allowed just 88.8 ppg, on 42% shooting, which is 2nd in the league. The Warriors are the defending champs and have been playing very well this year, but the best team in the league right now may just been the Spurs, especially if their offense continues to produce.
The Houston Rockets had a bad start to their year, but hey have since gone 10-5 in their last 15 games, to climb back to .500 on the year at 15-15. They also started slow at home where they went 3-6 in their last 9 games, but have now won 6 straight games at home. The biggest reason for the turnaround of late has been their offense that has averaged 108.4 ppg in their last 15 games, after putting up just 99.7 ppg in their first 15 games. The one constant on this team has been the play of James Harden, who is 2nd in the league in scoring, putting up 28.8 ppg. Offensively the Rockets check in at 4th in the league in scoring, putting up a solid 104.1 ppg. Also constant on this team has been the play of their defense, which is again one of the worst in the league, giving up 106.6 ppg on the year.

[507] San Antonio/ Houston Over 207.5
I will go with the over in this game. The Spurs offenses has really picked it up of late as they have average 109 ppg in their last 7 games, while the Houston rockets have put up 108.4 ppg in their last 15 and 113.2 ppg in their last 6 games at home. Houston’s home games have average 210.3 ppg on the year and this one should put up at least 201 points rather easily, despite the fact that the Spurs have played great defense this year and that their road games have averaged just 190.6 ppg. This one should be a nice high scoring game.
