NBA Game of the Day: Timberwolves at Rockets betting preview and odds
Minnesota Timberwolves at Houston Rockets (-8.5, 226)
The Houston Rockets breezed into the All-Star break with a 10-game winning streak and the top spot in the Western Conference, and now they just need to hang on for another 25 games. The Rockets will see if the momentum carried through the break when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
Houston is aware of the tough road it needs to overcome the rest of the regular season with a schedule that features 10 of 13 on the road after Friday, with the lone home games against Boston, San Antonio and the Los Angeles Clippers. "Everyone is going to come after us," Rockets guard Chris Paul told reporters. "The competition is going to be tough, but we are winning games and playing good basketball right now." The Timberwolves are one of those teams trying to come after Houston and emerge from the break percentage points behind the Spurs for the No. 3 spot in the West but only 3 1/2 games clear of the ninth-place Clippers entering play on Thursday. Minnesota was not quite up to the challenge against the Rockets at home on Feb. 13, when it allowed Houston to make 10 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of a 126-108 setback.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS North (Minnesota), AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)
LINE HISTORY: The Rockets opened as 8.5-point home chalk and that number briefly dropped to -8 at most books before returning to the opening number. The total hit the betting board at 226 and has yet to move.
INJURY REPORT:
Timberwolves - SG Marcus Georges-Hunt (Questionable, Illness).
Rockets - SG Eric Gordon (Probable, Knee), SF Trevor Ariza (Probable, Hamstring).
POWER RANKINGS: Timberwolves (-6) - Rockets (-11.6) + home court (-3) = Rockets -8.6
MATCHUP CHART:
ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (36-25 SU, 28-31-2 ATS, 33-27-1 O/U): The Timberwolves had two players invited to the All-Star Game on Sunday, though swingman Jimmy Butler never got off the bench. Center Karl-Anthony Towns, who leads the NBA with 51 double-doubles, did what he does best on the in big stage and dropped 17 points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench for Team Stephen. "I found a groove early and rode the wave the rest of the game," Towns told reporters. "I'm happy with my first All-Star Game. Finding a way to get a double-double is pretty cool."
ABOUT THE ROCKETS (44-13 SU, 28-28-1 ATS, 26-30-1 O/U): Houston added to its roster during the break, signing veteran swingman Joe Johnson and power forward Brandan Wright after the two cleared waivers. Coach Mike D'Antoni, who is also expected to get small forward Trevor Ariza back on Friday after a nine-game absence, has yet to settle on a rotation. "I don't want to tinker too much, but I have to tinker because we have some new guys," D'Antoni told the Houston Chronicle. "We have to figure out rotations and figure out how guys are comfortable. We have to see who plays well with each other. We have to see a lot of things. ... We just have to figure out, can we keep everybody mentally fresh, alive, hit the right buttons, and (get) everybody ready?"
TRENDS:
* Timberwolves are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
* Rockets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Over is 6-0 in Timberwolves last 6 overall.
* Over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Houston.
* Over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

Three-year trend says Houston Rockets are a bad bet as home favorites
The Houston Rockets begin the final stretch of the regular season as the clear No. 1 threat to the Golden State Warriors' NBA title defense. The Rockets are far exceeding the preseason expectations and own a half game lead over the Dubs for the best record in the Western Conference at 44-13.
But Houston’s success hasn’t equaled a boom for NBA bettors. The Rockets are just 28-28-1 against the spread on the season and 11-17 ATS on their home floor. Covering the spread as favorites at the Toyota Center has been a problem for the Rockets. The club is 42-62-1 ATS (40.4 percent) as home chalk since the start of the 2015-16 campaign and 10-16-1 this season.
To be fair to Houston supporters, the stat is a three-year trend and this is only Year 1 of the Chris Paul-James Harden partnership. Both players have missed time along with starting center Clint Capela. GM Daryl Morey will tell anyone who’ll listen his squad is 28-1 (17-11-1 ATS) in games with Paul, Harden and Capela in the lineup.
Oddsmakers are making bettors pay a premium to back the soaring Rockets. Houston has been favored by an average of 12.5 points over its last six home games and has covered the spread just once the last 10 times it's been favored by double digits.
There are reasons to be optimistic about the Rockets’ chances as 8.5-point faves at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night and moving forward. Mike D’Antoni’s group enters the last 25 games of the season with a clean bill of health and reinforcements from the buyout market.
Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright fill out an all-ready deep frontcourt rotation. Johnson didn’t do much for the Utah Jazz this season but he was one of their best performers in the playoffs last spring. D’Antoni is known for using a short bench but he trusts more players on this year’s Rockets team.
Houston allows 110 points per 100 possessions in the fourth quarters of home games which is the third most in the Association and owns a -3.6 net rating in the final frames of home games. Adding Johnson and Wright into the mix should help their bench unit hold leads and avoid ugly, backdoor covers.
Leonard expected to miss rest of season; oddsmakers drop Spurs' title odds
The Westgate SuperBook adjusted the San Antonio Spurs’ odds to win the NBA title from +2500 to +4000 after head coach Gregg Popovich told reporters on Wednesday he’d be surprised if former NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard returns this season.
The Spurs opened as the third favorite to win the 2018 championship at +1000 behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, but their odds had dropped to +2500 by the All-Star break. San Antonio’s increased odds have come with the Houston Rockets edging ahead as the clear second choice in the Western Conference. The Westgate lists the Rockets as the clear second fave to lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy at +200 after opening them at +3000 last May.
Leonard has played only nine games this season because of a lingering quad injury, and the Spurs are 30-20 straight up and 24-21-2 against the spread without their two-time All-NBA first teamer. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday night that Leonard has been cleared to play by San Antonio’s medical staff.
Oddsmakers told us at the start of the season that Leonard was worth about seven points to the Spurs’ game odds. He entered the campaign as the preseason co-favorite to win the NBA MVP award along with LeBron James at +400.
San Antonio limped into the All-Star break with a 1-5 record in its last six games and just two ATS wins in its last seven contests. The Spurs get back to work on Friday night with a game at Denver and then play at Cleveland on Sunday.Comment
