ROGERS SUNDAY SLAM-DUNK (64-45 NBA RUN!)
(NBA) Rockets (HOU) vs. Warriors (GSW),
Point Spread: 4.50 | -105.00 Rockets (HOU) (Away)
Result: Win
My 8* SLAM-DUNK is on the Houston Rockets at 8:30 EST. Houston won't be rolling over here and it clearly has a very legitimate shot at winning this game outright on the road. The Rockets enter having won two in a row, most recently a confidence-building 125-111 home win over the Thunder on Friday. The Warriors have won five straight, most recently a 118-104 home victory over Denver. This is the final game of the five-game season series and so far Golden State owns a 3-1 edge, so Houston plays with the added incentive of revenge as well. Keep your eyes on Rockets' center Alperen Sengun, who had 31 points, two boards, four assists and three steals in his team's most recent win. Overall the Rockets average 114.5 PPG, while conceding 109.1. The Warriors average 113.9 PPG, while conceding 110.8. Houston has a much tougher schedule to close out the regular season and it won't want to back its way into the playoffs. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. Rockets roll!
