Chicago at Houston

Both of these teams are on the fringe of playoff possibilities so it does become an important game to both teams in that regard. Houston has really fallen on hard times as the Rockets have dropped seven straight contests. All you have to do is look at the defensive end for an answer, as the Rockets have allowed 118.7 points per game in the losses. The Bulls have not been much better as they have allowed opponents to average 113.5 points in their last six. Houston showed signs last game of breaking out as they played above the line for the first time in seven games. The Bulls struggle putting together winning streaks and over the past three seasons, they are a woeful 18-36 ATS following a win. Make the play on Houston.
