Houston Rockets vs Washington Wizards prediction

Don’t look now, but the Houston Rockets have won 5 straight games and have found themselves somewhat in the conversation to sneak into the play-in tournament. The Rockets have also covered 8 of their last 10 games. The Washington Wizards have been in tank mode for quite some time, and they’re 30-36-2 ATS on the season despite being big underdogs nightly. The Rockets have covered 7 of the last 9 games against the Wizards, and they covered 6 of those games. Thick line for a road team, but this is two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Rockets.
