The total for this Western Conference contest is set at 222.5, down from opening
at 224.5. The depleted Rockets may be without their top two scorers for this game.
Harden (36 ppg) and Westbrook (26 ppg) may not play. Harden has a bad thigh
and did not play last night against Denver and Westbrook has not played both ends
of a back-to-back this season. One stat that bothers me is 71 percent of the public
is on the Under right now but knowing Utah has the fourth best defense in the NBA
helps ease that concern. I will play the Under in this one.

538 Utah Under 222.5 (5Dimes)
