Play: Portland/Houston under 215 -110
Time: 9:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The last two contests would have gone under had they not both gone to overtime. This is just too many points. Games for neither team average more than 211.1 in the overall and the home/away splits. In Game 1 the starters for both squads had to do the heavy lifting. Houston's sixth man, Jeremy Lin (illness), is questionable for this one. He missed practice on Tuesday after scoring 14 points in Game 1. The rest of Houston's bench had seven points. The Blazers' bench? They had seven points total on 2-of-14 shooting. Houston's James Harden and Dwight Howard were a combined 17-of-48 shooting in the first game. Both teams are above average in overall field-goal percentage defense as well as on threes. And the Rockets can't shoot free throws.
Record: 55-35-3 (61.1%)
