Anybody on the rockets tonight?

Beware of Houston's Home/Away splits....

I think its worth the risk doing a small wager on the ML (low risk, high reward). Might even get lucky and see Melo sit out again.

IMO books are begging for Rockets money. The Knicks had there letdown game against the Cavs after 2 national TV game wins against the Nets and Lakers. I expect a big game from the Knicks tonight as the large line tells it all.

That wasnt really a let down game for the Knicks though (I watched it). That was more or a less a career (super spectacular) career night from Irving (not to mention no Melo for the Knicks). That will be the factor in this game, if melo plays, Knicks probably win. If not, dogfight will loom.

Thanks for the info. Still the line seems abnormaly high for a Rocket team that can score.

I think that's partly due to the public loving the knicks and the Rockets riding a 9 game road losing streak, not to mention this is a back to back game for the rockets (where they lost by 7 to the raptors).

Im sure it will be much closer by tip off but currently the Rockets are taking close to 70 percent of spread action making them a public dog. It will be Knicks or nothing for me. BOL with whatever you guys choose.

Yea I dont really like this game, but with Melo possibly being out and the Rockets already proving they can beat the Knicks (beat them by 30), I would go Rockets. But if anything I would just do the ML for shits and giggles. I have my eye on Clippers and Suns for NBA (maybe Memphis). Might just do clipps and suns in a parlay (-5 clips and -4.5 suns).

I actually kind of like the Knicks here. Rockets don't play defense

shimeon40 · 12-17-12, 04:46 PM

hmm was just thinking..wasn't it melo around when linsanity was playing there..i think melo will play and its going 2 be a melo beatdown maybe..good game to stay away from.

GIVEMETHEMONEY · 12-17-12, 05:51 PM

Yep I am loving Rocket's +10

Should be quite interesting.

Melo out and Linsanity's return!

Quite interesting!!

Maybe the Knick's second home loss!!

The Rockets played arguably their best game of the year in Houston against the knicks a while back. Won't be the same story tonight. Good teams blow out the rockets when they host them, throw in the 2 games in 2 nights for Houston, and the edge is on NY's side to cover.

JOHON8 · 12-17-12, 06:06 PM

There is extra motivation for the Knicks to stop Lin from trying to insult them at MSG, plus the Rockets can't play D.

Knicks are due for a loss at home. Thinking of jumping on the rockets ML or at the least taking those 10 points. Any thoughts?

Due for a loss huh ? Yea ok, especially to the team that embarrassed them on national TV with their worst loss of the season waxing them 131 - 102. Im sure they won't be up for this game.

I cashed playing against Knicks other night without Carmelo, +10 is auto play
