Boston at Houston

The Boston Celtics have been a lot more competitive than expected after turning over their roster and with a fresh look on the sidelines coaching. Houston brought in Dwight Howard and feel like they are ready to be a player in the Western Conference. They have been the favorite in all but two games this season, but have covered just two of their last six in that role, and they simply don't pay enough attention on the defensive end. Houston's last seven opponents have topped the century mark, and are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .500. Make the play on Boston.
