NBA: Friday's play

Play: Houston/Phoenix under 220.5 -107

Time: 9 p.m. ET

Reasoning: This is the highest total either team has gone against this season. Only two out of the Rockets' 43 games have seen totals above 209. Contests involving Houston average 201.9 points overall and 209.2 points on the road. Tilts involving the Suns average 212.3 points overall and 210.3 points at home. Both squads take a ton of threes, but neither makes a ton of them. The Rockets are terrible from the line (71.4%) and Phoenix is below average in free throw attempts (21.8). Houston won the first meeting this season 100-95. Six straight overs by the Rockets have helped prompt this total, but it's just too many points.

Record: 255-192-9 (57.0%)
