Phoenix at Houston

The Houston Rockets are built in the mold of the old Golden State, and Phoenix teams. They simply play no defense and get up and down the court with a strong offense, and try to run their way to wins. The problem is that they have allowed opponents to score 110 or more points 19 times on the season. So while they are a better than .500 teams, it is hard for them to win big. They have only been favored by this much vs. the Wizards, and Bobcats, so this is surely an overlay. Houston is also just 1-6 ATS in their last seven vs. a team with a losing record, and don't seem to bring the energy to this type of game. Go with Phoenix.
