Rockets have come out of the All Star break slumping as I thought they would, but now they return home off poor performances on the road that have their value low, but they are still an awesome home team (15-4). They beat Memphis, 76ers and even the Thunder at home before the break. Despite getting Ty Lawson back the Nuggets still have some guys out that are key players and starters in Nene, Fernandez, and Gallinari.
I think the Rockets match up well vs. the Nuggets especially since they are the worst defensive team on the road. They allow the most threes in the league. Rockets off their first back to back performances of 90 points or less, but traveling to Toronto and then Utah after a break is not easy to do. They come back home to face the Nuggets who are average on the road at 9-9. The Rockets are 21-10 ATS in their last 31 following a ATS loss and are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 as a favorite.
