Pick: 2 units on Game Total UNDER 181.5 -110

Two of the NBA's best defensive teams clash tonight in Cleveland. There are five winning teams in the NBA that all rank in the top five defenses in the league. A look at games in which they have played each other shows that the defense is the calling card in these games. There have been 16 such games this season, and 13 of them have gone under the total. These two teams have been part of 12 of those 16 games, and have combined to go 10-2 to the UNDER. On the season, Cleveland is 15-7 to the UNDER against teams with a winning record and Houston is 14-9, so combined these teams have played 29-16 to the UNDER vs. teams with winning records. These teams have averaged 172.7-points per game over the last six meetings between each other, not counting OT, and managed just 144 points when meeting earlier in the season. These teams have also combined to play to the UNDER when the total is 181.5 or less 17 of 25 times.
