Preview:
The Hornets head to Houston on Wednesday looking to not only undo their three-game losing streak, but also 16 seasons worth of bad juju.
Charlotte hasn’t won in Houston since 2004, making this road trip even more daunting following Tuesday’s 12-point loss at home to the Magic.
The Rockets are laying -13.5 here, and while that might seem a little generous for a team that consistently finds new ways to either 1. blow a lead or, 2. not show up at all, I’m still willing to back Houston to win this game comfortably.
Russell Westbrook has been ruled out for this game due to a mysterious left thumb injury, but that might actually work out in Houston’s favour. Recently the Harden-Westbrook chemistry just hasn’t been there, so with Russ out of the picture, don’t be surprised if we get the very best of ‘The Beard’.
Harden has averaged 25.9 points in 14 starts against Charlotte, while the Rockets are also an impressive 19-4 against the spread in their last 23 games in the month of February.
Odds:
Tip: Houston Rockets at $1.08
