Orlando at Houston

The Houston Rockets appeared to be pushing themselves up toward the rare air of the Golden State Warriors after a 14-game winning streak had them as the top team in the NBA. There has been a rather noticeable slide since then, as the nearly invincible looking Rockets have gone a rather pedestrian 10-9 since, and have been toasting their backers with a not-so elite 8-16 ATS mark in their last 24 games. The Rockets have become brutal when trying to take down huge numbers vs. bad teams and enter this contest against lowly Orlando as a -12.5 point favorite. The bad news is that they are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games as a double-digit favorite since December 7th. Play the points on Orlando.
