The Houston Rockets have opened a three-game road trip with losses at Detroit and Cleveland, but I think they'll win the finale in style when visiting Washington Wizards Monday night. They had won five on the bounce prior to this two-game losing streak and the Rockets have won and covered the spread in three of the last four meetings with Washington.

The Wizards may have defeated New Orleans last time out, but the Pels were without Anthony Davis and I don't think the Wizards have an answer to James Harden who has averaged 37.5 ppg over the last four games.

8* play on Houston Rockets.
