Top Rated 10* NBA East vs. West *GAME OF THE MONTH*
(NBA) Houston vs. Charlotte,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -115.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Houston Rockets
Rating: 10/10*

The Charlotte Hornets had dropped seven on the bounce prior to a 111-107 win against the lowly Nets on Tuesday. They're 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games overall, and here they'll take on a Houston team that is playing better ball again after a disappointing month of January. The Rockets are coming off a 128-104 thrashing of the Magic, and they're 18-7 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record on the season. Houston superstar James Harden went off for 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a 121-114 home win over Charlotte on Jan. 10, and I don't think the Hornets will have an answer for him or the rest of the Rockets tonight either.
