Not only are the Rockets the top under team in terms of margin of cover, but also the markets show no signs of adjusting. Six of their last eight games have gone under by at least 14 points.

The Rockets are second in points allowed and opposing field goal percentage and first in opposing 3-point percentage. But heading into a game against the league top offensive rebounding team, the Rockets are 27th in defensive rebounding percentage.

The Rockets defense has been especially impressive considering how often it is put in a bad position. The Rockets have become the league most turnover-prone team, allowing 19.8 points per game off turnovers, more than any team other than the 76ers. But again, turnovers are correctable errors, so that is why they are so far ahead of the markets.
