Houston is coming off a beatdown in their last game where they gave up 130 pts and the Rockets shot poorly only 38%. Since their Christmas Day loss Oklahoma City is 15-3 SU but only 6-12 ATS including 4 straight losses with ALL SIX ATS covers when they were a favorite of 7.5 or more while going 0-6 when a favorite under 9 points. They return home after a 6 day 4 game road trip in which the defense was horrific allowing 117 ppg plus the lost a pair of contribution backup guards including their 2nd best defender, Andre Roberson, who would have been on James Harden. Houston meanwhile is coming off an embarrassing 31 point loss where both Harden and Howard played under 30 minutes so they'll be fresh here. Houston's Harden is averaging more point versus his former team than any other, and the Rockets have owned them winning 5 straight.
