Result:
LOSS

The dysfunctional Houston Rockets just finished playing six of seven games at home, and won only two games. One of those was the last one, an embarrassing 116-114 victory over the laughable 76ers as -11 chalk. They had 23 turnovers and yielded 16 3-pointers. They also lost at home to this New York Knicks team during that stretch, 107-102, as a -5 favorite. These Rockets got their first coach fired and aren't playing any defense under the new coach, allowing 107, 102, and 114 points the last three, part of an 0-9 spread run. Houston is 28th in the NBA in points allowed, 24th in field goal shooting defense, and 21st at defending beyond the arc. The Rockets are on a 3-14 ATS run with a losing road record. New York is improved and playing hard, unlike last season. New York guard Jose Calderon is 11-of-20 from 3-point range in the last six games. The Knicks are ninth in the NBA in points allowed and are 9-4-1 ATS following a loss. And when these teams meet, the underdog is 5-2 ATS. Play the New York Knicks.
