The Western Conference Triple system super side is on the Houston Rockets. Game 716 at 9:35 eastern. Houston should rebound nicely here after getting blown out at home in game 1. On the Blind Game 2 home teams in this round that lost game 1 are an 80% win proposition. The Rockets qualify in powerful systems based on this premise tonight. One is to play on home favorites of 5 or more off a double digit home loss, another is to play against team like the Clippers that are off a win of 12 or more as a dog of 7 or more, if they have 3 or less days rest. Finally teams seeded 1-3 in game 2 off a straight up favored loss at -10 or less are 20-1-1 ats if they failed to cover by 12+ points. The Rockets are 11-0 ats of late off a straight up favored loss and 13-2 ats off a loss of 10 or more. The Clippers are 0-7 ats when leading in a series. The Clippers without C. Paul had every one step and Houston was lulled into thinking the game would be far easier to win without him. Tonight we should see Houston play their best game and snap an 11 game losing streak in game 2 of a series that they trail. Take Houston HISTORICAL VICTORY PROBABILITIES: Leading 1-game-nil @ V:
