Houston at New York

Think the mighty Houston Rockets are going to play all out to win this one? Houston had to play last night, a 105-93 win at Cleveland, and they have a game on deck Saturday at home. That's three games in four nights. Houston did not have an easy win last night either, needing a 32-19 fourth quarter to put the game away at Cleveland. Four starters played 30+ minutes. James Harden struggled on drives Wednesday, making 1-of-7 shots and not creating any points for teammates on 10 drives. Houston is 1-4 ATS after a victory and 2-5 ATS against an opponent with a winning percentage below .400. New York got the cover last night on the road at Washington, and when these teams meet the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Houston winds up a three-game road trip here and has played six of the last nine on the road, so grab the big home dog. Play the NY Knicks.
