Houston at Washington

The Wizards look like a .500 team at 17-15, but don't forget the slow start of 0-5. The reality is that this team is 17-10 and not getting any respect at home where they are 10-5 over their last 15, and more importantly, 10-2 ATS as a home favorite. Houston just 11-16 over their last 27 is being treated as an NBA power by oddsmakers here. The Rockets will be going without McGrady again tonight, and that certainly doesn't help them against a competent Wizard team. The Wizards aren't the run-and-shoot team we have seen in the past as they are playing some defense and holding opponents to the sixth-best FG percentage defense in the NBA. Washington gets one at home.
