The Houston Rockets had a trio of stars that they thought would lead them to an NBA title, but they just never got there. They have broken the team up and have started over, and the growing pains have been tough. Playing at home is tough because the lines reflect a home-court edge that simply is not there. Houston is now 6-24 ATS at home going back to the end of last season (6-21 ATS this season). They are also dealing with a lot of injuries. Denver is 9-2 over their last 11 games and has played their best basketball most recently. The Nuggets are looking to improve upon their playoff seeding, which as of today would be 4th. I don't see them taking the night off in Houston. Make the play on Denver.
