Only five games on the NBA docket for this Tuesday night. Three of the five feature Vegas totals of over 200 including a massive 229.5 O/U for the Rockets vs Warriors game.

The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers.
