NBA Betting Trends

Houston

The Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Houston is 0-7 ATS in its last seven games overall.

Memphis

The Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Memphis is 5-1 ATS in its last six games versus the Southwest Division.

Prediction:

Houston was terrible last night and now will be without Westbrook, but this does come against a worse opponent. The Rockets also did not expend a ton of energy last night with the bench playing a lot of garbage minutes. I think Houston bounces back here against a Memphis squad that will take its fair share of lumps this season.
