The Rockets have been superb at home as they have played to a 22-6 mark on the season, while the up-start Blazers have yet to find success on the road, bringing just a 12-15 mark into this one. The Blazers are now just 1-6 SU and ATS when they have had to face a winning team on the road since December 1. The only team they managed to beat was a New Orleans team without Chris Paul, so they simply haven't been getting it done. The Rockets are posting a 6-2 mark in their last eight against teams with a losing road record, and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven at home overall. The Blazers are good, but have shown that they are not ready to take on the good teams on the road. The Rockets get the call here.
