Rockets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 112, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline

The ROCKETS (-154) are a decent play as moderate favorites if you just want to declare a winner and not worry about playing the points.

Neither of these teams have been particularly hot, although Houston did win last time out against a solid New York Knicks team, while the Grizzlies (+130) have dropped 9 in a row since Jan. 26. Memphis has also dropped both of the previous meetings with Houston this season.

Against the spread

The ROCKETS -3.5 (-110) covered last time out against the Knicks, while going 6-4 ATS in the past 10 outings.

On the flip side, the Grizzlies +3.5 (-110) have cashed in just 2 of the past 6 games, and Memphis also failed to cover in either of the first 2 battles with Houston.

Over/Under

UNDER 219 (-108) is a strong play despite the fact the Grizzlies have cashed the Over in 4 of the past 5 games. Memphis managed just 87 points of offense last time out against New Orleans, and the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games at home for the Grizzlies.

The Rockets have seen the total go low in each of the previous 3 outings, while going 4-1 in the past 5 tries on the road.
