The Rockets are better defensively than you probably realize, but tonight they're facing a Nets offense that is too good to slow down. Plus, you have to think James Harden wants to make a point against his former team. That said, I don't see much value on the spread, but I see this game going over the total no matter how it plays out.
I normally try to stay away from teams that are favored by this much. But with how poorly the Rockets have played, I still think the Nets can cover. The Rockets have lost 12 straight, with nine of those losses coming by at least 10 points. Meanwhile, the Nets have won nine of their last 10 games, with seven of their victories coming by at least 10 points. To complicate matters for the Rockets, Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable.
