Sport: NBAPick Selection: #665 HOUSTON (-)
Off Sunday's embarrassing loss at San Antonio, Houston will be champing at the bit to get back on the winning track.
Offensively, the Rockets should have a field day against the Kings porous defense. In case you have noticed, Sacramento has allowed opponents to top the century mark in 20 of its last 21 games. When Houston pops for 100 or more on foreign soil, the Rockets are a solid investment posting an amazing 130-30-6 ATS record in their last 166 games.
Don't forget, Tracy McGrady and company has been one of the best in the league when coming off a straight up loss too. In fact, as a guest coming off a blemish, Houston is a profitable 149-86 ATS provided the Rockets are matched up against a non-division foe. In this role running in a back-to-back or with one day of rest, Houston improves to a sensational 134-68 ATS!
Without the services of Mike Bibby (traded to Atlanta), Sacramento has been an average ballclub posting a mediocre 10-11 SU mark. In addition, the Kings are a soft 9-26 SU and 14-10-1 ATS in their last 35 tries against the Southwest Division.
The Rockets have exploded in their last 41 games notching a remarkable 34-7 SU and 28-13 ATS record including a marvelous 14-4 SU and 13-5 ATS in this set as a guest. Let's lay this small number and cash a nice ticket. Take Houston. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.
