Houston at Memphis

Houston really laid one on Minnesota at home in their last game winning by 28 points. Houston now travels to Memphis with a big game looming against Dallas Friday. Does Houston show up? This is the perfect letdown spot for Houston and so often these good teams in the NBA take a breather in a game they feel they can win easily. Memphis has proven to step their game up a notch vs. the better teams especially at home. Memphis took Dallas to the buzzer last week and lost by a single point and they also own a convincing win vs. the Lakers at home. We like Memphis in this spot especially with Dallas on deck for Houston.
