Premium Pick

Houston is Top 10 in the NBA in points given up (112.7 per game) and fifth in field goal shooting allowed. The Rockets are 13-2 ATS when playing six or fewer games in 14 days, plus 115-82 ATS on the road off a loss as a favorite. New Orleans is banged up with the backcourt missing second-leading scorer Brandon Ingram (21.4 ppg) and Dyson Daniels, while backcourt center Cody Zeller (knee) is questionable. New Orleans is 4-12 ATS after having won five or six of their last seven, and NBA teams like Houston revenging a home loss to an opponent are 70-37 ATS off an upset loss as a road favorite. Play Houston.
