Rockets -3 (4.4* NBA POD)ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
I like where the Rockets are mentally coming into this game as they are on double revenge losing two times at Memphis. The Grizzlies just won their 4th in a row and they won their two game home stand in dramatic fashion on tip ins on Rudy Gay’s missing at the buzzer to win. Can they get up for a road game where they are 6-9 against a divisional opponent that is hungry to get a division win? To me it’s a tough task and the Rockets are 12-4 at home where they play so much better so I expect them to take care of business.

The Grizzlies have not won here since 2006 as they have lost 10 straight. The two played just a week ago when Houston shot a season low 38.5% and turned the ball over 18 times. They are much better at home and should be able to pull a win out tonight. Memphis also goes back home to face one of the best from the East in the Sixers making this a very tough game for them heading into the All Star break.
