Christmas Day NBA

Play: Houston/San Antonio under 209.5 -110

Time: 8 p.m. ET

Reasoning: This is the highest point total the Spurs have seen this season. They give up just 95.5 points per game and their games average 198.8 total points. Here they will get a Rockets team that may be without James Harden (ankle), who averages 23.9 ppg. Either way, Harden should be limited, and Houston will definitely be without point guard Patrick Beverley (hand surgery). He'll be out 4-6 weeks. San Antonio has no such injuries, and if the Spurs get out to a good-sized lead I expect them to slow things down. Both teams are above average in defensive rebounding and the Rockets are horrible from the free-throw line: 69.6 percent.

Record: 1-0
