New York at Houston

Houston is making headlines with its win streak but New York has quietly turned things around with a winning record, on an 11-4 spread run. The Knicks are outscoring opponents on the season, rank seventh in the NBA in field goal shooting, sixth in free throws. Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 23.3 points on 48 percent from the field over his last six games. And the defense is improved, eighth in the league in field goal shooting allowed. New York is 35-15 ATS revenging a home blowout loss of 20+ points against the same opponent, plus a good bounce back team at 35-23 ATS after a defeat. Houston is getting overvalued by oddsmakers with its hot run. Chris Paul has yet to play more than 28 minutes since his return from the knee injury. Going against any team that covers three straight as chalk in November games is 36-15 ATS and the road team is 10-1 ATS when these teams clash. Play New York.
