Houston at Sacramento

The Houston Rockets are becoming a force as the team seems to be coming of age. The Rockets are 20 games over .500 on the strength of their 17-5 mark in their last 22 games. That mark includes a red-hot 9-1 in their last 10. The Rockets last loss to a team with a losing record came just shy of seven weeks ago. Sacramento looked to be on the improve a year ago, as they did not have the overall record, but became a respectable team at home where they finished 20-21. They are not likely to get there this year as they are 12-17 through 29 home games, and have taken a step back. The Rockets have had a lot of success vs. the Kings at 10-4 ATS in the last 14 including 5-2 ATS here. The Kings' inconsistency has led them to a 4-10 ATS mark in their ladt 14 when following a 10+ point win. Lay the points, and play on Houston.
