Houston is in double revenge after losing the first two meetings this season, including 110-105 on Jan. 13. Both teams played last night with the Rockets losing to Golden State and Memphis defeating Sacramento. Marc Gasol had 28 points and nine rebounds for the Grizzlies, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Clint Capela led the Rockets with 22 points and 12 rebounds and James Harden added 17 points and 11 assists, but Houston couldn't overcome the Warriors' 52.8 percent shooting. The Rockets have a huge edge on offense averaging 114.4 points per game compared to 99.8 for Memphis and the Rockets have covered 17 of their last 23 road games and 20 of their last 27 overall after an ATS loss. Look for Houston to avenge its earlier two losses to the Grizzles, so play the Rockets.
