When these teams met earlier this year, the Rockets won by 20 points in Houston. Clint Capela (thumb) was healthy for that game, but that’s still a significant blowout. The Kings play at the second-fastest pace and are tied for the fourth-most points allowed per game in the league, so this should be a game where James Harden goes off yet again. Considering this small spread, I’ll take the Rockets to cover despite this game being in Sacramento.
The Kings have won seven straight home games, but I'm betting the streak ends here against a Rockets team that didn't have to work too hard in its last game at Phoenix. Houston has won 15 of the past 17 meetings straight up. Lay the small number.
