    i see the rockets are a popular pick tonight

    some people are talking about rockets ML at Indiana..the spread was at 5.5 last night and now down to 4.5

    anyone have a write up on this pick? Any thoughts on why you think rockets are the pick?

    Rockets on losing streak, they're not a great team but decent enough not to have a large losing streak. People just playing the odds that the streak will be over sooner than later. Rockets will win one of their next three games to end the streak though.

    FWIW, rockets 8-1 ATS @ home vs. eastern (avg cover 10 points) source: killersports.com

    trying to decide in my mind if extremely strong trends like this have value in forecasting the future.

    okc and SAS have some extremely lopsided ATS records in certain common situations too.

    Indy seems to have every advantage here, front court, back court, defense, bench, home court, etc...looks like a tough task for a slumping houston squad.

    Not sure why I bought the point, but I did. Hate 4.5 for large plays.

    Straight Jan 18 NBA [807] HOU ROCKETS +5½-130 (B+1) 5740.00 USD / 4415.00 USD 25947329
