Houston at Golden State

Houston gets it done at home, but is just 6-8 on the road. This is a tough situational spot for the Rockets, playing their fifth straight road game. It's been a good trip so far, but all that road travel will take a toll. This is also their sixth road game over the last seven games. It is never easy to face Golden State with tired legs, as the up-tempo young Warriors run right at opponents, ranked fourth in the NBA in points scored (99 points per game) and second in assists. Golden State has had two full days to rest and comes off a 109-101 win at Denver as a +6 dog. Houston is No. 20 in the NBA in team defense allowing 45% shooting and the favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams. In addition, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Play Golden State.
