It wasn't too long ago when everyone was questioning if the small-ball lineup would lead to disaster for the Rockets. Well, the state of Houston is still on the map, and the Rockets are still sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference standings. They've also recently put together a five-game win streak with a 116-105 home victory over the Celtics.
It's easier to have confidence with a pair of former league MVPs in James Harden and Russell Westbrook playing on the same team and playing their best ball right now. They buried the Grizzlies in a game where they covered as 12.5-point favorites and catch the Celtics after their long road trip. I'm taking the Houston Rockets here as your Saturday free winner.
