Houston Rockets

Prediction
Expect the Houston Rockets to cover the +4.5 points spread in this matchup against the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been playing well but they have a record of 14-12 on the road while the Rockets have a solid 18-9 record at home so they should be motivated for a win after losing 4 straight games on the road.
On the other hand, the Rockets are well-rested and playing at home, where they've been tough to beat. Look for Houston to take advantage of their favorable circumstances and keep the game close, potentially even pulling off the upset against the Knicks.
