Grizzlies at Rockets picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 108, Grizzlies 99

Moneyline

PASS.

At -275, there is no money to be made betting on a Rockets team that is 10-1 at home this season.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS -7.5 (-105).

The Rockets have been dominant at home this season, including 5 straight covers. They have a 14-5-1 ATS record and covered as 9-point home favorites Monday. While Eason led the team in points and rebounds Monday, his possible absence could influence a Houston cover, so be sure to double-check the injury report closer to game time before wagering more than a unit.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 213.5 (-110).

The Under is 14-6 in Houston's games this season and 13-9 in Memphis'.

Houston has gone Under in 4 straight games and 7 of its last 10, only scoring 93 points last time out. Memphis has hit the Under in 3 of its last 4 road games and has scored more than 109 points just twice over its last 10 overall.
