Houston Rockets at Memphis Grizzlies Preview & Picks
Houston are tipped to cover as a betting underdog on the road.
The Rockets have had Memphis' number in recent years, including winning both previous meetings this season, and they have been an extremely reliable spread bet on the road dating back to December.
- Houston Rockets are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 road games
- Houston Rockets are 6-1 in the previous 7 meetings with Memphis
- Houston Rockets are 5-2-0 ATS in the previous 7 meetings
- The Over has cashed in 6 of the last 9 meetings (1 push)
Head To Head
- Houston Rockets lead the all-time series 70-47
- Houston Rockets won 120-118 when the two teams last met on January 13
Houston Rockets Form
Houston head to Memphis on a great run of form, having won 10 of their last 12 games and each of the last four.
The Rockets responded to a loss to Boston with a five-game win streak that included back-to-back wins over Memphis, 119-115 on the road and 120-118 at home.
That run was ended by a 132-127 loss in Sacramento, and although they rebounded to win 125-103 in Portland, they failed to follow it up as they were beaten 107-96 by Detroit.
Houston bounced back in style though, as they took down Cleveland 109-108 at home, and then went out on the road to down the Cavaliers 135-131.
The Rockets then won 114-112 at defending champions Boston, before heading to Atlanta to beat the Hawks 100-96.
Memphis Grizzlies Form
Memphis return home looking to bounce back from a defeat in New York that ended their six-game win streak.
The Grizzlies struggled for consistency during the first half of January, but back-to-back wins in San Antonio got them going.
The beat the Spurs 129-115 and 140-112 on the road, before returning home to beat Minnesota 108-106.
Memphis then produced two high-scoring performances to beat Charlotte 132-120 and New Orleans 139-16, before beating Utah 125-103.
The Grizzlies failed to make it seven-in-a-row though, as they suffered a 143-107 blowout defeat in New York on Monday night.
Verdict
These two teams have produced a couple of close encounters this season, and more of the same may be on the cards here.
With that in mind, we have to take the free points and a Rockets team who have repeatedly got the better of the Grizzlies in recent times and have been stacking up covers on the road.
