Houston at Memphis

The Grizzlies have really struggled out of the gate at 1-4, while Houston has gotten off to a great 6-1 start. The Rockets are doing it with stellar defense giving up an NBA third-best 89.4 points per game. The Rockets come out playing D, and their first halves have seen an average of just 87.6-ppg scored in total. The better team often has the ability to impose its will on the opponent and the Rockets’ will is defense, and nobody has done it better in the first half this year, so we will ride the first-half UNDER.
