Houston just finished a six-game homestand. The offense is 24th in field goal shooting, 23rd from 3-point land, and last from the free-throw line (74%). They've failed to cover the last two games and are on a 2-5 spread run away from home. They come off an overtime win Monday night at home over Philadelphia as a 16-point favorite. Orlando is home from a five-game trek, playing well on a 3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS run. Orlando is No. 1 in the NBA defensively in points given up. They come off a 108-103 upset at Cleveland as a +10.5 underdog, so back home court. Play Orlando.

Orlando at Houston
March 10, 2025
8:00 PM Eastern
The Rockets are still an excellent basketball team, but they have undoubtedly slipped some as the season has progressed. It is easy to get fooled by the Rockets 39-25 record. That has not been the case over their last 19 games, where they are 8-11. Before going 8-11, the Rockets were 31-14!! They have shown to be vulnerable in a lot of ways. The Orlando Magic is 30-35 on the season, but that is good enough for the #8 spot in the play-in round. This Rocket team has been struggling for 19 games, and I don't believe they have figured out things yet. Make the play on Orlando.
