Golden State and Houston posses the two most potent offenses in the association today. The Rockets average 114.5 points per game and trail only the Warriors, who average a league best 117.8 ppg. While Golden State has built much success around the three-point shot, it is Houston who leads the league in both three-point field goals made and attempted.
The over/under line for Friday night’s contest is current set at 238.5 total points. According to oddshark.com, it is the highest point total for an NBA game since 2010. The total has gone under in 12 of the last 17 games played between the two teams in Houston.
Golden State will be without David West tonight, who is out with a fractured thumb.
