NBA - 1st March Picks

LA Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves - Under 205 points @ 1.91 (Bwin) Minnesota coming into this game after a very high-scoring game against Golden State which nearly reached 250 points. There was very little regard for defense in this game, and against the Lakers, the Timberwolves will not reach a total of 126. They have a much better defense, and are capable of subduing the best of offenses. Before their game against Golden State, Minnesota were struggling to reach 90 points and I feel this could happen against the Lakers. With the Lakers not a massively high-scoring team, and a slow-paced team, I feel this game will stay under this total.

Re: NBA - 1st March Picks Houston Rockets at Portland Trailblazers - Under 201.0 points @ 1.971 The Rockets come into this game after an impressive 91-89 win on the road against New Orleans, and are looking to win their 6th road game in a row. The 7 games before that were Over including road games at Cleveland and Detroit where they posted 124 points and 108 points. The Blazers are starting to get some of their injured players back which should aid them here, and they are a better defensive sides. Against Cleveland, Houston had 100 FG attempts, whereas Portland will not let them have this many chances, and when they do, they will defend better. The last time Portland hosted the Rockets it ended 100-85, and I think Portland have it in them to handle Houston's offense and keep it Under the total.
