The Houston Rockets are enjoying a fine run of form and notched up their seventh win in eight games last night when they hammered this opponent 116-88 at this venue.

Our Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
While it is tough for a side to beat the same opponent on a back-to-back, the Rockets are a team that seems to be improving with each game and they looked head and shoulders better than Portland in the 28-point win last night.
Additionally, Houston have now covered the spread in each of their last seven games, making them the second-most successful side at cashing tickets this season, and we fancy they will be able to do so again in this one. Our Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers prediction: Houston Rockets -12.5!
