The Houston Rockets had to fight hard to get past the Celtics at Boston on Saturday, but I think they're in for a much easier ride when visiting the Knicks at Madison Square Garden tonight.

The Knicks are in a potential flat spot after ending a six-game slide with a 10-point win over Chicago last time out. They're just 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and the Rockets are a dominant 8-1 ATS in the last nine head-to-head meetings in New York.

8* play on Houston Rockets.
