T.M. Selection: Houston Rockets - ML

I like the Houston Rockets to win this game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. In what should be one of the more competitive games of the day, I believe that the Rockets have the upper hand here. Charlotte is dealing with many injuries right now and that is not a good sign, especially with how bad they are already. Houston is coming off a big upset win against the Nuggets. The Hornets may have won the earlier meeting between these two teams, but I don't expect them to even come close in this one. My only worry is that the Rockets might announce guys out last minute like many of the teams are doing right now. But, as it stands right now, I'd hammer the Rockets right now before the spread moves up.

T.M. Prediction: 118-99 Rockets.

Line: -130

Line Parameter: play until -190 OR -5.5 on the spread (can play either..)
