Seattle at Houston

The Rockets are one of the more talented teams in the league and it was starting to really show prior to the break. Me thinks that the Sonics overacheived in the first half, while the Rockets were playing like they should have been at that point in the season. Ming and McGrady are playing like the all-stars they are. This will be an interesting contest and I like the Rockets here. They've won eight in a row and are absolutely kicking booty. Houston will keep this game low-scoring and pull out enough to get the win and the cover. Two stars on Houston in this one.
