Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

If we peek at the numbers, this 'Over 198.5' bet in the Wizards vs Rockets game seems like a slam dunk. The Wizards have been pouring in an average of 118 points at home lately, while the Rockets aren't far behind with 109.2 points on the road. The defense has been, let's say, somewhat lax - with the Wizards allowing an average of 117.8 points at home and the Rockets conceding 117.2 on their travels. Put simply, these teams have been involved in high-scoring affairs. The last five games for both teams blew past this total, averaging a combined 231.2 points. With the model predicting an even higher total of 249.23 points, there's a strong statistical reasoning to believe we'll see more of the same, making the 'Over 198.5' a compelling bet.

The recent scoring form of the Washington Wizards bodes well for an over 93.5 team total points bet. Despite their 1-4 record in the last five games, their average team score has been 115.2 points, significantly more than the target. Even in their home games, where their record is marginally better at 2-3, they're averaging 118 points, again, comfortably clearing the line. While their defense might be a concern, with opponents scoring an average of 117.8 points at the Capital One Arena, it's unlikely to influence the Wizards' scoring output. When the Wizards face the Houston Rockets, betting on the Wizards to score over 93.5 points seems a solid choice, given their consistent offensive performances, regardless of the game's final result.
