Free Pick: HOU/GSW Under 219.
Tonight's game features two top-ten defensive teams: the Rockets allow the third-fewest points per game, and the Warriors allow the eighth-fewest. These averages shouldn't be threatened tonight as the Warriors will be without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and De'Anthony Felton, while Andrew Wiggins is questionable. This means the ninth-best-scoring team won't look like themselves and will have to make up for a lot against a top 3 defense. As for the Rockets, Tari Eason is out and Fred VanVleet is questionable. A combined average of 53 points will be out in this matchup not including the questionable players. Even though the Warriors will be without several key players don't expect their defense to suffer as they are a well-coached team that has shown up defensively multiple times this season down key players. Expect a low-scoring game between two great defensive teams, reassured with several injuries to key players.
