This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Rockets.

I had a play on Houston in its most recent 113-104 loss in Minnesota on Saturday as an 8.5-point underdog.

After that excruciating loss, I'm going back to the well here and will back the underdog home side, that's now lost nine straight against-the-spread.

The Wolves have now won two straight and covered in three straight. That's significant to note here though, as Minnesota is just 1-4 ATS in its last five after three or more ATS victories in a row.

With a much more high-profile game at New Orleans up next, I say the Wolves not only have a letdown here, but they also get caught "looking ahead."

Grab the points, the play is HOUSTON.

Good luck, NP
