NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Houston vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -108.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
The Houston Rockets have won 21 of their last 22 games. A simply amazing record, but they're in a tough spot here at Minnesota Sunday night.

The Rockets are coming off a 107-101 win at New Orleans last night, but their starters logged heavy minutes and Houston is only 1-6 ATS in its last seven games when its starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day.

They'll face a Minnesota team looking to bounce back from a 16-point loss at San Antonio yesterday, and we can note that the Wolves are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 home games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

Minnesota will no doubt be fired up for this one after losing the first three meetings of the season.

My selection is an 8* play on Minnesota Timberwolves.
