Houston at Denver

The Houston Rockets are third in the West with a deadly offense and second in the NBA in scoring behind Golden State. All-Star guard James Harden is off a game with 41 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists for his 18th triple-double of the season. They have a better road record (22-13) than Denver has at home. The Rockets are 16-5 ATS following a straight up loss, plus 21-8 ATS after a spread loss. Denver is #27 in the league in points allowed and #29 in field goal shooting defense. Denver will be without forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) for the second straight game and backup forward Wilson Chandler (groin) for the third straight contest. The Rockets drained 17 three-pointers while recording a 128-110 win at Denver back in December, and Houston is 21-10 ATS against losing teams. Play Houston.
