Last year, the Rockets lost their first three games both straight up and against the number. Further, Houston went 5-10 absolutely in their first 15 out. Thus, the boys from H-Town have demonstrated a decided propensity for slow starts. Against this backdrop, perhaps NBA observers should not have been surprised when Houston got beat by the Lakers Wednesday, despite closing as six point favorites.
Our computer simulation work calls for a final score of 107-110, Mavs, suggesting that bettors should position for more of the same from the Rockets tonight. We also like the UNDER, given our forecast for a 217 total.
Happy betting!!
