The Houston Rockets went out and got Chris Paul to elevate them amongst the elite teams in the NBA. Paul has played in just one game, but the Rockets have played extremely well and very focused. The team has been elevated by the play of Clint Capela, and Eric Gordon. Gordon is averaging 24.8 points per game while Capella has been a double-double machine despite playing less than half the game, at 23 minutes per contest. Capella is contributing 14 ppg and 10.5 boards. Houston's only blemish on the season cane at home vs. this Memphis team 98-90, and I think the Rockets are looking for payback, and have played and executed superbly, and will get it done. Play on Houston on the moneyline.
