My Best Bet for Hornets vs Rockets
Rockets -8.5
While I do think that this game could be headed for an OVER, I think the safer bet to make is Houston to cover as a home favorite. Charlotte has been on a miserable ATS run, going 1-7-1 ATS in its last nine games as an underdog and 0-4-1 ATS in its last five games vs the Western Conference.
The Hornets are 0-13 SU in their last 13 games in Houston with an average losing margin of 14.6 points. away The OVER is 9-1-1 in Houston’s last 11 games as a favorite of more than 8.5 points.home Charlotte is 1-8 SU and 3-6 ATS as a road underdog of more than 7 points this season.away
