Chicago at Houston

Premium Pick

The talk early in the season was who could overtake the Golden State Warriors? Houston was in that conversation, but it may now be more like who can over take the Houston Rockets? Houston is 60-14 on the season, will be the #1 seed in the West, and the Chris Paul move is starting to look huge. Additionally, C Clint Capella has emerged as missing inside-the-paint force. While all of that comes up aces, the Rockets are cruising uncontested across the finish line, and the fading Chicago Bulls will certainly not wet their appetite. The Bulls are 24-49, but will likely bring a little more with a chance to take down an elite Houston team. I'm not expecting much of an effort by the Rockets, especially resting Capella and Harden for this one. Take the points on Chicago.
