The teams have met three times this season and Houston has won and covered all three with an average margin of victory of 13.3 points. The Rockets bounced back from a tough road trip with a controversial 105-103 win over New York on Monday when Aaron Holiday had 18 points, capped by two free throws with less than a second remaining after a disputed foul by Jalen Brunson on a 3-point shot. Nevertheless, it was a much-needed win for the Rockets, who are 15-5-1 ATS their past 21 games against teams with below .400 winning percentages and 7-1 ATS as road favorites of 0.5-4.5 points. Memphis has lost nine in a row and the Grizzlies are 2-4 ATS their past six games although they did barely cover in a 96-87 loss to New Orleans on Monday. The Grizzlies are 6-18 ATS as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points. Make it a Max Play on the Rockets.
