Top Rated 10* New Years Eve *FIRECRACKER*
(NBA) New York vs. Houston,
Point Spread: -9.50 | -105.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Houston Rockets
Rating: 10/10*

Both teams on a back-to-back, but the Rockets have the luxury of staying home at Houston following last night's 140-116 win against the Clippers while the New York Knicks are coming off a 104-92 loss at New Orleans. Houston has been among the hotter teams in the NBA in the last month, and the Rockets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games playing on no rest while the Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last five on no rest. The Rockets have covered the spread in 15 of the last 19 meetings and I expect a blowout win for the Rockets in this contest.
