The youth-laden Grizzlies are likely a bit ahead of schedule, led by the dynamic duo of Jaren Jackson and Ja Morant. Draft steal Brandon Clarke also has been a huge difference-maker for Memphis, which has won five straight. The Rockets have won four of five, the lone defeat an off-night in Oklahoma City for Russell Westbrook's homecoming. But the league's top-scoring team has posted at least 118 points in each of the wins, and Houston is a bad matchup for an opponent that similarly prefers a wide-open pace.

The Rockets having lost three of four games on the road has created point spread value with this line. Grab the Rockets to end the Grizzlies' five-game win streak.
