This is a tough situational spot for the home team, as its their only home game during a stretch playing five of six away. Houston is home after a loss at Toronto, 99-96, and heads out on the road tomorrow to play at Dallas to begin a three-game trip. Houston was a bit short-handed in its loss to the Raptors as big man Dwight Howard (15.9 points, 10.6 rebounds) got the night off to rest his injured knee, joining several other key players on the bench. Sacramento gets center DeMarcus Cousins (24.1 points, 12.4 rebounds) back after getting the night off against the Grizzlies the last game. Cousins has recorded double-doubles in nine of his last 11 games, including three straight, and has 44 this season. Grab the points on Sacramento.
