    Are rockets healthy enough to win at Portland tonight?

    DH played 26min, Harden 23, Linn 30, Asik 24 and Parsons 36. Will they be rested and with enough motivation to win at Portland tonight? ML is at 2.05 thats why im asking. Opinions please.

    i was also thinking bout this game, blazers will have to be motivated and have a pre good scoring game from outside because they are close to the worst in the league to score in the middle. if howard and asik attack hard down the middle it will cause trouble. im still leaning abit on rockets they have the tools to take it.

    Imo, the best play of the day. Blazers won't score too many easy points in the paint because of Asik and DH. They won't get many rebounds too. If they are to win, their jumpers will have to fall at a high rate.

    Not too worried about fatigue as Rockets key players(except Parsons) played only 20+ mins. Also expecting Harden to have a better game than today.

    And dont forget that theyll will not only be good in the paint. Harden ad Parsos can shoot from the outside. I really why wonder why 2.05....

    Rockets will be tired, but Howard will dominate LMA. Asik > Lopez at C.

    Rebounds and second chance points will win this game for HOU

    Stay strong said it.

    Houston are playing their 4 game in 5 nights.. Howard will not defend LMA, because they know he will get in foul trouble. Asik will, but good lock with that.. ha ha

    Boas rapaz!

    Last year I made two winning bets against the Rockets on the Blazers based on two things: Batum and Mathews. Two, not only able defenders, but guys who have the design to bother Harden and even Parsons. Truth is, while I won both those bets if I recall, the other games they played I had two stay away because Harden lit them up in their second game and I think he also had one other monster game against them.

    So, and specially without anyone to get the fouls on Howard/Asik, I think the Rockets might be a good play here as well.

    Boas!

    I just wanted to understand the 2.05. It might be due the 4th game in 5 nights. But ill definitely play this one unless someone comes with a good argument.

    Yes I think that's the reason. Its the reason why I haven't put down my money yet. But the line seems adjusted to that already so I might still play 'em.

    My gut tells me HOU +2. All honesty Port is terrible. They have gotten worse the last 3 seasons. The only good thing to happen to PORT is the PG Lillard.
