NBA - 603 Houston Rockets @ 604 Chicago Bulls
Projected line: 178 points
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
Chicago were completely squashed yesterday in Oklahoma City! They had a lot of defensive problems to stop Durant and Westbrook, but they also did quite well in some areas, as they completely outrebounded the Thunder by 32.7 vs 9.1 in offensive rebound rates and they limited the damage of Oklahoma City on the inside, as they shoot just 14-26 FG at the rim and 2-8 FG from 3-9 feet. On the other hand, Chicago's offense struggled as expected in the outside and in the inside. The Thunder's defense was excellent in limiting the Bulls to just 9-23 FG at the rim!
On the other side, Houston is coming from a tough home loss against Indiana, where they wasted a 10 points lead in the 4th quarter. The Rockets had a lot of problems to score down low against the Pacers, having just shot 15-30 FG at the rim. Today we can expect a similar outcome, as not only the Bulls will be on a bounce back mode, as Chicago's frontcourt is even better than the Pacers' frontcourt. Since then, there will be pressure for the Rockets to hit some outside shots or they will heavily struggle offensively tonight. Due to their game going to overtime last night, Dragic played 39 minutes, Lee 43 minutes and Parsons 37 minutes. Dragic may have some edge against Watson and Lucas, but I don't believe in any edge from Lee and Parsons over Brewer and Deng. This is a bad spot for both teams with long trips on a back to back spot. This should be a grind out game, with a slow pace and therefore, I'll take the Under in here in a Double Dime Play!
