The Houston Rockets are red hot right now. The Rockets last loss was on the road at the Memphis Grizzlies. Houston is scoring more than 114 points per game, which is second in all of the league. The Rockets only trail Golden State in offense. James Harden is one of the top scorers in all of the league. Harden is averaging 28.5 points per game, and dishing out just shy of 12 assists per game.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

This has the ability to be a really good basketball game. This also has the potential to be an absolute blowout. The Houston Rockets have a chance to score a ton of points, and completely blow the doors off the Grizzlies. That’s our vote. James Harden will have a great game, and the Grizzlies are going to struggle to defend him, especially on the road. While Marc Gasol may get his for Memphis, the Houston Rockets are going to continue to stay red hot in this game. The final bet for this NBA game on Friday is the Houston Rockets -4.5 over the Memphis Grizzlies.
