Houston at Portland

The surface shows the Houston Rockets playing very well, as they are winners of each of their last four games. Looking closer shows three of the wins were vs. New Jersey, Cleveland and Detroit. The fourth was vs. a New Orleans team outside of their 10 and 8 game winning streaks are 18-27. Portland will offer a lot more resistance than those four teams. The Rockets haven't exactly matched-up well with Portland, as they have a 3-7 ATS mark in their last 10 meetings. The Trailblazers are 3-0-1 in their last four facing a team below the .500 mark - always tough at home. Play Portland on the moneyline in this one.
