Houston at Sacramento

It has been such a long road for the Sacramento Kings. They have not had a winning season since 2005 despite very favorable draft picks, and several lottery picks. The organization is a mess, and at 6-9 on the season it isn't looking like a whole lot has changed. On the other hand Houston is 9-6 and has had winning seasons in 9 of their last 10. The Rockets have been blindly profitable as a road favorite over many years against .400 or worse opponents so they are in a spot where they have played above what has been expected. James Harden has always played at a high level, but he has turned it up a notch this season having gone for 25+ points and 15+ assists in five games, something he had managed just  one time in his entire NBA career with Houston. The playmakers are with Houston, while the nightmares are with Sacramento. Make the play on Houston.
