Houston -1.5
We simply cannot see the Rockets losing a third straight game at home, even if they are hosting the red-hot Denver Nuggets, winners of seven in a row. Houston has started the current six-game home stand by losing outright to Chicago and then Atlanta. This is pretty strange considering that the Rockets started the year 11-4 ATS at the Toyota Center. They come into tonight's game riding a five-game ATS home losing streak. Consider that since '96, the Rockets are 23-9 ATS when coming off back to back losses as a favorite. That includes 6-1 ATS the last three years. They catch the Nuggets in a good spot as leading scorer Carmello Anthony is listed as questionable and did not play last game. Even with all the winning, several Nuggets players are behaving erratically with JR Smith whining about playing time and Kenyon Martin getting ejected last game. Denver has lost four straight in Houston. Take Houston.

Nebraska Under (138) for 2 Units
This series has gone 0-4 O/U in its last 4 meetings and has the making of another "under" here. Colorado, which is 6-18-2 O/U as a home favorite, should be able to clamp down on the offensively challenged 'Huskers that average a meager 55 ppg as a traveler. The Buffaloes work the ball well on the offensive end to get good shot selection, and they'll need it vs the defensive minded Cornhuskers. We'll look for this to be a half court style game at a pulse rate. "Under" the call.

Clippers have 1 win in last 10 road games and Gordon is banged up, plus NJ might be motivated thinking they might actually be able to win a game tonight, plus the fill-ins have something to prove and on the Nets, anyone can get some playing time if they do anything decent, but then again we're talking about the Nets and the Nets backups as Harris and Lee are injured.. So yeah, prolly Clips, but you never know.
