The Houston Rockets had opened the season perfect 3-0 before taking a 98-90 home loss to Memphis their last time out. The Philadelphia 76ers are in the opposite situation, picking up their first win at Detroit their last time out after starting the season with three straight losses. Classic let down spot here for Philly after winning outright on the road as a 3.5-point dog.

Houston has been able to win despite shooting just 27.5 percent from 3-point range but, it's only a matter of time before they start dropping bombs like last season. This is no doubt a good time to back the Rockets to get back on track and cover a low spread.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Rockets.
