The Charlotte Bobcats are 20-13-2 ATS at home this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Houston has won three games in a row, including a 118-111 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers as eight-point road favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for a fifth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Rockets have four of five probable starters averaging in double figures, with shooting guard James Harden leading the way at 24.8 points a contest, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA predictions.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that center Dwight Howard is listed as day-to-day with a left ankle sprain.\u00a0 Houston is 27-4 SU and 16-13-2 ATS versus teams with a losing record this season.<\/p>\n

The Rockets are 19-15 SU on the road this season, including a 7-5 mark when taking on Eastern Conference opponents, which is important to consider when looking over the pro basketball odds page.\u00a0 Houston is now 26-9 SU since the calendar rolled into 2014, as it sits just three wins from posting its 10th 50-win season in franchise history.\u00a0 Since the All-Star break, the team is averaging 52.5 points in the paint.<\/p>\n

Charlotte snapped a two-game losing streak by picking up a 124-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers as one-point home favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for a second consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Bobcats have three of five probable starters averaging double figures, with center Al Jefferson leading the way at 21.4 points a contest, while also averaging 10.4 rebounds.\u00a0 Charlotte is 20-15 SU and 20-13-2 ATS at home this season, with the UNDER going 21-12-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats have won 11 of 17 games since the All-Star break, which is tied for the third-best record in the East over that span.\u00a0 Charlotte has won nine of its last 10 games\u00a0 at Time Warner Cable Arena, which has been made possible by averaging the fewest turnovers in the league this season.\u00a0 Last season, the team allowed 102.7 points per game, but that number has dropped to 97.1 during the 2013-14 campaign.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Bobcats due to their 12-3-1 ATS mark in their last 16 home games.<\/p>\n
