Result: Loss
Point Spread: 4.50 | -105.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Houston Rockets.
I got down on this line the second it came out and am saddled with just +3, most of you would have been able to get 4 or at least 4.5 as of Friday morning. However, I still love this selection and while I obviously feel that the outright win is certainly not out of the question whatsoever, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I look for the visitors to at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the handful of points they've been afforded. LA is almost certainly going to be without the services of all star point guard Chris Paul once again tonight and if he does play, he's not going to be at 100%; suffice it to say, I think this is going to be a major factor. LA has played excellent without its floor general and has gotten Herculean efforts from Blake Griffin, but I simply can't see the team continuing to play so well with his continued absence. In fact, Houston was finally able to make some appropriate adjustments to defend Griffin in the second half of Game 2, it limited him to just 8 points over the final two quarters and overcame a 13-point deficit to win by six, failing to cover the spread for a second straight game by a single point. And the Rockets must also be extremely confident with the return of James Harden's stellar play, after struggling through the first seven quarters of this series, the MVP runner-up would score 16 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter: "We let Game 1 slip away and we didn't want that feeling for Game 2," Harden assessed afterwards.. "It's going to be a tough two games in a row, but we've got our mojo now." Note that Houston is 8-3 ATS this year after playing three consecutive home games, while LA is just 1-6 ATS this season as a home favorite in the 3.5 to 6 points range and already 0-3 ATS when tied in a playoff series. Play on the ROCKETS.
