Why bet on the Houston Rockets
The Rockets (25-23) played the second of a 3-game road trip on Wednesday night, and they were absolutely crushed by a San Antonio Spurs team that was obviously still smarting after taking a similar type of beating versus the Warriors. That game is not an indication of how well the Rockets have been playing as of late, and is one that you can pretty much toss out. Prior to that loss, Houston had won 3 in a row, including the opening game of the road trip in New Orleans. Houston already has a win over the Thunder this season, and that one came at a time when they were really struggling to get things going. They may have a bit of a tougher time on the road, though, as they are 2-games under .500 away from home. The Rockets are averaging 104.7 PPG, and are giving up 106.1 PPG.
