The Houston Rockets are back home, and they've been playing well, winning three of their last four on the road. The Rockets host a banged up Memphis team that is coming off back-to-back losses in it's last two road games. The Rockets are tied with Dallas for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference, and there is little margin for error here in a very winnable home game against the Grizzlies.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - Memphis is below .500 on the road this season, and they really struggled in a loss at Atlanta in their last game. The Grizzlies scored just 83 points on 34.7 percent shooting, losing by double-digits.

2. Injuries - Things are so bad in Memphis, that the Grizzlies have had to sign D-League players Ray McCallum, Alex Stepheson and Briante Weber to 10 day contracts. Marc Gasol is out for the season, Zach Randolph has missed the last four days with a knee injury, and Mike Conley, Vince Carter, Chris Anderson and Brandon Wright are all banged up.

3. X-Factor - The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games versus teams with a winning straight up record.

Selection: This is a play on the Houston Rockets (10*)
