Houston at Memphis

These two teams have started off in very similar fashion. Both have bracketed SU and ATS losses with a win. Neither is happy with a 1-2 start. Shane Battier faces his old team here. Last year, these teams met four times with Memphis taking all four games straight-up. Now they get 3.5 at home against a team that is juse 12-23 ATS as a favorite the past two seasons. Both teams desparately want a win and in that situation, both teams will fight and scrap. In that kind of game, I like the team with the home court advantage and points to boot. Memphis here.
