Houston -2 (Bought the 1/2...1.87)

League: 13-5-1 (Av. win 4.9) away 4- fav, 1 day off a 15+ ats win as a home fav, if opp is off an ats loss.

Denver also in a bad trend situation.

Basically Houston are the better team. Their defense has been outstanding lately (with Mutombo starting @ Centre), holding teams to under 40% shooting in their last 8 games (on av).
J.R. Smith back, but he's inconsistant at best...I have no idea what they were thinking by trading away Earl Boykins!! I can't imagine Steve Blake chipping in with 20 points a night.
Houston won by 3 last season @ Denver, without Yao or McGrady, so there's no reason they won't win again tonight.
