Premium Pick

Houston is trying to get by without injured James Harden, and it has a chance for a win tonight against the Bulls, who have lost four of their last five, including a blowout 125-86 loss at Indiana on Saturday. Chicago shot just 37.5 percent from the field and allowed the Pacers a .558 shooting percentage as Indiana ended a five-game losing streak. Booby Portis was Chicago's leading scorer with only 15 points, and the Bulls managed only 10 of 32 from 3-point range. The Rockets average 114.8 points per game compared to 101.6 for the Bulls, who have just a .438 field goal percentage. Chicago is 3-10-1 ATS its last 14 games against Western Conference teams. Lay the points with the Rockets.
