Houston at Washington

The Rockets lead the NBA in scoring (106.4 points) while the Wizards (91.8) rank dead last. Houston is also winning with that attacking style, on a 3-1 SU, 4-0 ATS run. Playing shorthanded doesn't seem to faze the Houston Rockets, who posted a pair of impressive victories since the trade of four players on Wednesday. Houston's new acquisitions - Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia, and Tyler Honeycutt - will be in uniform for this one. Two nights after rallying to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston won at Brooklyn, 106-96. The Rockets have made 31 3-pointers in the two wins! The Rockets are 20-7-1 ATS following a win and 20-7 ATS after a spread cover. They are also 19-7 ATS against the Eastern Conference. Washington has cooled off, on a 1-2 SU/ATS run, even losing as a favorite to Toronto 96-86. The Rockets have won four straight and six of the last seven meetings against Washington, including a 99-93 home win on Dec. 12. The Rockets are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Washington and the road team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Play the Rockets.
