Charlotte at Houston

When you come to Houston you had better be ready to face a staunch defensive effort from the Rockets. They have played 10-2 to the first half under vs. teams being outscored by more than three points a game. Houston tries to take the team out of the game early. The Rockets have also played to 16-4 on the first half UNDER against teams with a losing record over the second half of the season for the last two years. Defense early, is the call here.
