Looks like a heavy weight match up in Memphis tonight, as Houston and Memphis are both playing in the fast lane to start the season at 9-1. Something will have to give here as the Grizzlies are unblemished at home at 5-0, while the Rockets flying high on the road at 6-0. I think Dwight Howard could be a difference maker here as the Grizzlies have been dominating with Gasol and Randolph in the paint, but Howard presents the best interior presence they will face, and others will have to pick up the pace. The Rockets have played down to low level competition, but against winning teams they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine. The Grizzlies are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 following an ATS loss. The Rockets have enough to win here and snap the Memphis 19 game home court winning streak, or at least take it to the wire. Make the play on Houston.
