The Houston Rockets are coming off back-to-back home wins over New Orleans and OKC Thunder, but they're still very much trying to figure out how to make Russell Westbrook and James Harden work together effectively. They enter this contest with an 0-3 ATS record on the season while the hosts Washington Wizards are a perfect 3-0 ATS, and I like the home team to keep this game a lot closer than the point-spread would suggest.

The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in this series and the Wizards should be well up for this one after opening the season with three consecutive road games.

10* play on Washington Wizards.
