This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOW on the UNDER Magic/Rockets.

This is a low total, but not nearly low enough in my estimation. Houston is now 39-25 after back-to-back wins over the Pelicans. That includes a 146-117 win last time out.

But with Phoenix and Dallas coming to town next, I believe the home side gets caught looking ahead.

Orlando is now 30-35 after snapping a five-game slide with a 111-109 upset road win at the Bucks last time out (I had Milwaukee in that one!)

The Magic have seen the total go OVER in three straight now, but note that looking back Orlando has seen the total go UNDER in seven of its last ten in after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

I'm expecting a less-than-efficient contest out of each side, and as such, the UNDER is the correct call in my opinion.

Good luck, NP
