Houston showed a lot in their double-digit win over the Lakers and I think that momentum carries into this game. The Rockets are scoring 104 per game and their defense has improved, dropping down to below 100 per game over their last five. The Grizzlies have been no-shows at home vs. teams that are coming in with a losing road record as they have covered just three of their last 17 in this spot and they are just 5-14-1 ATS as a home favorite in their last 20. Houston is riding a 19-4 ATS mark facing an opponent that allowed 100+ in their last game. I like Houston in this one. I also like the UNDER here. The Memphis Grizzlies opened the season by scoring 100+ in eight of their first ten games. They averaged 104.6ppg in the process, but have really slowed things down as the fast style did not suit their personnel. They have now topped the century mark just three times in their last nine games and the average has slipped to 96.4ppg. The Rockets have reached the century mark just three times in their last nine games, so this one over the 200 mark shows value on the UNDER. The Rockets are also 7-0 to the UNDER if they reached the century mark in their last game. I like Houston and the UNDER in this one.
