Houston at Portland

The Houston Rockets completely dominated the Portland Trailblazers in game one. It was the biggest home loss of the season for the Blazers who had lost just seven games at homes all season. One would expect this team to come out with all guns “blazing” in game two. The Rockets shot nearly 60% in the game, and that won't come close to happening in game two. I have a huge NBA Playoffs indicator that will be alive and active for this game. Our indicator deal with teams coming off a big loss, and this wrinkle has produced 65.6% winners since the 1990 Playoffs, with 64 games in the database. I look for Portland to win game two convincingly, and get the cover.
