    Why Is Boston Dogs at Home To Houston?
    No Paul and no Capela and the C's are underdogs at home, doesn't make much sense. Can anyone explain this line to me? Have books been this high on Houston and this low on Boston all season? I was expecting Boston to be a short favorite.

          They definitely aren't the same without him. He might be their second most important player after Harden. All they do is run pick and roll with him and throw him alley oops. He's basically the DeAndre Jordan of Houston.

              Yep, that's a pretty good comparison. Cp is good for covering big favorite lines when he's leading the 2nd unit

              This line indicates that nene will have an impactful game tonight then fade away the next

              Houston 1h then Boston 2h depending on the halftime score

                I think they’re telling us Houston rolls. Celtics haven’t been playing that well the last couple weeks.

                  Celtics are regressing but Houston has been on a slide as well. I like Houston

                    Houston lost 3 in a row and people think they won't lose 4. Plus, Houston has played great on the road. 12-2. Like the Celtics

                        I think this is more of a reflection of Boston not looking like the world beaters that they were for the first few weeks of the season. This line would have been closer to 6 or 7 with Paul and Capela playing. Stevens will look at the teams that have played the Rockets well and scheme such that they're trying to only give up mid-range 2s, but that doesn't mean the Rockets won't get their shots anyway.

                        Gonna have to think hard before I play this, but I do think Houston is due a good game with or without the two guys that will be out

                          I don't get your statement. You say Boston has come back down to earth, please tell me what Houston has done the last week? And no chance Paul and Capela are worth 5 points together.

                            Capela is a top 5 defensive big and one of the main reasons it's hard to cheat on Houston's shooters. Paul is...well, Paul.

                            I don't think Boston is the real deal, so when both teams are struggling, I'm gonna lean towards Houston getting it together faster.

                              Boston on a back to back

                              Houston scores more points per-game on avg

                              Houston coming off three losses

                              Houston ML/spread

                                Rockets are missing two starters.

                                Celtics are also missing two starters.

                                Celtics have home court but are on a b2b.

                                It's Harden vs Irving. Harden has Gordon & Ariza to work with while Irving has Smart & Tatum.

                                If I were to guess the line I would have said pick'em.
