Handicapper: William Burns
League: NBA
Competition: Charlotte Hornets vs Houston Rockets
Time: Thursday, February 5, 08:10 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Houston Rockets -3 (-115)
Analysis:
Houston Rockets | ATS | . It's been a ridiculous 7-0 run for Charlotte, winning @Orlando, vs. Philly & vs. SAS along the way. That being said, all streaks come to an end eventually and I believe that the Hornets are finally going to taste defeat for the first time since Jan 21st. They are still out of a playoff spot if the postseason were to start today. Some people get scared off when a team's playing the second game of a B2B. While obviously that's a factor, it's also factored into the line and there's many other situational things/matchup statistics to look at. Houston's been phenomenal at home all season, 17-4 going into Wednesday's game against the C's (17-5 now.) The Rockets also dominate the glass, leading the NBA in both OREB & REB per game. In the end, I'm expecting the better and more experienced team to get the job done. Houston's a legitimate championship contending team while Charlotte is still in the "rebuilding/gaining experience" stage. One more season and maybe Charlotte's a playoff contender. But, before then, don't expect the Hornets to win an eight straight game. Burns' Prediction: 119-106 Rockets.
