Houston Rockets at Minnesota Timberwolves
Houston Rockets - Team Total Points Over 112.5 (-110)
The Houston Rockets are leading the Southwest Division and on the season are scoring an average of 113.8 points per game. The Rockets will face a Minnesota defense that is allowing 110.8 points per game which is 9th best in the NBA. Houston's offense has produced well of late, scoring 113 points or more in four of the Rockets' last six games. I am convinced the Rockets will score 113 or more on Tuesday.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Anthony Edwards Points Over 25.5 (-115)
Anthony Edwards is leading Minnesota in scoring with an average of 27.9 points per game but will face a tough Houston defense that is allowing opponents an average of only 105.1 points per game. Nevertheless, Edwards has scored 26 or more points in two of Minnesota's last three games and five of the Timberwolves last eight. I am certain that Edwards will score 26 or more on Tuesday.
