Knicks at Rockets—Houston -14 with o/u 229.5—Free pick is New York Knicks +14. New York has covered five of their past six visits to Houston.

This could be a flat spot for Houston coming off facing an Eastern conference team out of the playoffs after picking up wins by 30 at Golden St and 10 at Utah. Looking at the Rockets defense past five games they are allowing 48.7% from the floor. Houston since going to that smaller lineup is getting beat night in and night out on the glass.
