BETTING TRENDS
Houston are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games.
Houston are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games on the road.
Orlando are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.
Orlando are 3-13 SU in their last 16 games at home.
Prediction
It's hard to trust in any of these teams to win a game but the Rockets offense is a little bit better than Magic and they already beat them earlier this season and with Gordon and Porter Jr good to go I'll gladly take the points with the Rockets.
PICK: Rockets +4 (-110)
