Houston at Washington

Washington is 1-4 after an 88-86 loss at Orlando on Saturday as the Wizards shot just 39.5 percent, and the leading scorer was Markieff Morris with 18 points. The Wizards blew a 10-point fourth quarter lead, and John Wall sat out the game due to the second of a back-to-back. Houston looks to bounce back from a 112-97 loss at Atlanta as James Harden scored 30 points with nine rebounds in a losing effort. The Rockets ran into a hot-shooting Hawks squad that shot 52.9 percent from the field. Houston is 9-2 ATS its last 11 meetings in Washington, and the road team is 17-5 ATS the last 22 meetings. The Rockets are #7 in the league scoring 108.0 points per game while Washington's woeful offense is #25 at 97.2 points per contest. Houston is a small underdog, so play the Rockets on the moneyline.
