Charlotte at Houston

Houston played its best game of the season on Friday, but lost 126-122 in overtime at San Antonio and then had to come back two nights later against Golden State and lost 106-95. The Rockets came back from 16 points down, but then played sloppy late in the fourth quarter against the Warriors while missing all eight 3-point tries. The Rockets have had two days off to attempt to win their first game of the season and it's against Charlotte, which allowed 56.3 percent shooting by Brooklyn while losing to the Nets 133-121 on Monday. The Hornets won their season opener and then lost their next two against Detroit and the Nets. Houston has covered four of five after losing by double digits at home and Charlotte is 2-6 ATS in that same situation dating to last season. Look for Houston to put together four good quarters and take the Rockets ATS.
