Houston at Minnesota

Premium Pick

All eyes have been on Golden State and San Antonio in the NBA West, but watch out because the Houston Rockets think they have something to say about that. The Rockets are on a serious roll at 20-2 in their last 22 games. That also includes a 16-0 mark against teams with a winning percentage of less than .610. Minnesota has been a dead franchise for over a decade, and this year seems to be more of the same. Minnesota has been the worst home dog by far in the NBA for years as they are 84-148-5 ATS as a home dog since the start of the 2006 season. These teams are on completely different paths, and Houston has not laid down vs. bad teams for a long time. Take Houston.
