Houston is playing a back-to-back, which shouldn't be a problem physically this early in the season. However, mentally the Rockets are coming off a thrilling last-minute win against the defending champion Golden State Warriors. P.J. Tucker made two free throws with 55 seconds remaining to complete a big comeback for the Rockets as they won 122-121. Sacramento finally has found some direction with a good draft while adding players such as Zach Randolph and George Hill along with ageless Vince Carter to provide some veteran leadership. The Rockets are just 3-9 ATS their last 12 games after an ATS win and 5-11 their last 16 after scoring at least 100 points. The Kings covered the number in four of their last five home contests last season. Grab the big points and play the Kings.
