Free Pick: Hornets vs. Rockets Over 216.5 (Jeff Alexander)
I expect points to come easy in this game between a pair of non-playoff bound teams tonight as this game won’t have a great deal of intensity. I have also spotted a strong system in support: Plays Over on all teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (HOUSTON) - after having won 4 of their last 5 games, a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) playing a marginal losing team, are 20-6 the last 3 seasons. Houston is averaging 109.6 points per game this month and should be able to go for more than that against a Hornets team that has been very poor defensively this month. We’ll bet the Over.
