Houston has won six of its last seven games, a stretch that includes three straight ATS wins on the road and an outright victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The history between these teams will be a huge motivational factor for the Rockets. Look for Houston to continue its strong road play and deny the Warriors a third straight win.

Injuries have derailed the Warriors’ season, putting them in the unfamiliar predicament of being a significant underdog on Christmas. If there is a silver lining, it’s that they at least have D’Angelo Russell and Draymond Green back. Although their record is bad, the Warriors are 6-7-1 ATS at home. Expect the Rockets to win this game, but on the big stage, I think the Warriors will remain competitive enough to where I like taking the points.
