This is Houston's fourth road game over the last five. They are coming off a victory, but the Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a win, and 1-4 ATS when playing on one day of rest. This team is just 4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS over the last eight games and now face one of the best teams in the NBA. While Houston doesn't play much defense (#24 in points allowed), Indiana is the best at #10 in rebounds, and tops in points allowed. Indiana won't be in a good mood, coming off its first set of back-to-back losses, falling 101-96 to Detroit on Monday and 97-94 at Miami on Wednesday. Also, the building will be electric as former All-Star Danny Granger is set to make his season debut, making the deepest roster in the NBA even better. The Pacers are 9-0 ATS when playing on one day's rest, and are 28-10 ATS following a loss. And when these teams meet, the Rockets are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings, and 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings in Indiana. Play the Pacers.
