Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Portland Trail Blazers have been scrappy this season and are 9-5-1 ATS, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them hang around. However, as I mentioned a week or two ago, the Rockets are a young team showing signs of figuring things out, and they keep cashing tickets. The Rockets are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. Also, the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a double-digit favorite, which goes back to March. Big line, but I’m going to keep riding the bandwagon of the Rockets.
