Latest Odds : Rockets -4 Total 221.5
This total is set very high for a reason the Nets have given up a ton of points lately to teams. Nets have also been hit with the injury bug lately taking away from their depth and defense and let's not talk about the Rockets and their yearly lack of defense.
Nets have played well though in their last 10 games going 6-4 SU. Nets gave up 109 points to Boston 122 to the Raptors and scored 116 against the Hawks. Nets have a total team approach but have some very talented players like former 2nd overall pick D'Angelo Russell who is averaging 18.7 points a game and 6.3 assists.

Don't forget about point guard Spencer Dinwiddie who is scoring 16.7 points per game and is getting 5 assists per game as well and really pushes the tempo for the Nets game in game out. Houston has a ton of players that score the ball. Rockets scored 141 just a few games back a number that is almost only seen in all-star games.
While I don't see them scoring 141 against the Nets I do see them getting above the 120 mark as James Harden has been other worldly this season scoring 34.8 points per game and averaging 8.6 assists and also getting 6.3 rebounds.
