Houston Rockets Basketball

Harden Picks up Where he Left Off Last Year for Rockets

The Raptors are 7-5 SU (6-6 ATS) after a disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics Sunday night. The Celtics were without PG Kyrie Irving, and yet Toronto still couldn’t get the job done. Toronto’s SG DeMar DeRozan is 10th in the league in scoring, averaging 24.7 points per game.

The Rockets’ last game was also on Sunday; they took care of business in Indiana against the Pacers, extending their win streak to six games, and improving their already impressive season record to 11-3 SU (8-6 ATS). And they did it without PG Chris Paul. Who’s still out with a bruised knee.

The Rockets are 6-4 SU in their last 10 meetings with the Raptors, who have covered in half of those games. Seven of the last 10 meetings have gone over the posted total, and both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in points per game.

State Farm Champions Classic: Kentucky Vs. Kansas

State Farm Champions Classic

State Farm Champions Classic Late Game is Kentucky Vs. Kansas


The fans at United Center will host the nightcap of the State Farm Champions Classic.  The 7th-Ranked Kentucky Wildcats and the 4th-Ranked Kansas Jayhawks take to the court in a classic matchup between NCAA powerhouse programs.

The event brings together four of college basketball's all-time great programs for an early-season doubleheader. It began in 2011 with a random pairing of teams.

Oddsmakers opened the Jayhawks as -3.5-point favorites versus the Wildcats, while the game's total opened at 155. Kansas is now a 5-point favorite and the total has dropped to 152.

Jayhawks Ready for Talented Kentucky in the Champions Classic


Kansas has played just one game, a 92-56 rout of Tennessee State at home on Friday.

Senior Devonte' Graham paced the Jayhawks with 10 points. He chipped in seven rebounds and a career-best 12 assists. The Sr. came up three boards shy of his first triple-double. The Jayhawks also picked up a double-double from freshman Marcus Garrett. He had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Junior guard Legervald Vick was Kansas' leading scorer with 23 points. Senior guard Svi Mykhailiuk chipped in 15 points. Sophomore Udoka Azubuike had 13 and sophomore Malik Newton scored 12.

Freshman forward Billy Preston sat out a one-game suspension for missing curfew and a class.

Wildcats have Their Hands Full in Champions Classic


Kentucky was a 73-69 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Vermont Catamounts. They failed to cover the -12.5-point spread as favorites.

Kentucky have their hands full just worrying about their freshman-dominated team. Especially defense from his guards Quade Green and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Kentucky owns victories over Utah Valley and Vermont.

Freshman Hamidou Diallo leads the Wildcats in scoring at 17.0 points per game. Freshman Kevin Knox is at 11.5 and freshman P.J. Washington at 11.0. Knox is the top rebounder at 7.0 per game.

State Farm Champions Classic: Duke Takes on Michigan State

State Farm Champions Classic

Top Ranked Duke and 2nd Ranked Michigan State Meet in Champions Classic


The Michigan State Spartans and the Duke Blue Devils will open the 2017 State Farm Champions Classic on Tuesday when they battle at United Center. Duke's young standouts will have their first test when the top-ranked Blue Devils meet No. 2 Michigan State.

Tonight will be an introduction to the country of some of these new college stars. Both games will be full of them.

Oddsmakers opened the Blue Devils as -1.5-point favorites versus the Spartans, while the game's total opened at 156. The total has inched up to 158 while the spread has stayed the same.

The teams met in a 2015 Final Four game. Duke won, freshman Grayson Allen making an impact off the bench. Duke won again last year at home in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Allen scoring a game-high 24 points.

Duke leads the series 11-2, winning the past six meetings.

Champions Classic Ready for Duke's Young Guns


Duke tuned up with home romps against Elon and Utah Valley. Mike Krzyzewski has now coached a team ranked No. 1 in 225 games. Coach K also won his 1,000th career game.

Duke freshman guard Trevon Duval has 20 assists and one turnover over his first two games.

Allen a senior and is the only Duke player to play in last year's Michigan State game.

Duke has been in No. 1 vs. No. 2 games six times. They have a 3-3 record. That includes the 1999 Final Four semifinal win over the Spartans.

Spartans Have Young Talent for Champions Classic as Well


Michigan State was a 98-66 winner in their most recent outing at home against the North Florida Ospreys. They covered the -31.5-point spread as favorites.

Miles Bridges is a preseason All-American who scored 20 points to go with 10 rebounds in the season opener. Jaren Jackson Jr. is the top newcomer for the Spartans

Michigan State is 1-1 when involved in a game with the top two teams, with the victory four years ago in the Champions Classic against No. 1 Kentucky.

Sunday Night Football: Patriots-Broncos Battle at Mile High

Broncos Sunday Night Football

Can Osweiler Find Magic on Sunday Night Football Again?


Two years ago, Brock Osweiler led the Denver Broncos to victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football. The loss handed them their first loss. It also earned a big contract with the Houston Texans during the off-season.

Now the circle is complete. Osweiler is back under center for the Broncos, and is going to start against New England this Sunday night (8:30 PM ET, NBC).

Oddsmakers have the Patriots as 7-point favorites in this Sunday Night Football matchup. The total is at 45.

Bet on football at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

Things have changed since 2015. Osweiler’s Broncos (3-5 SU, 2-5-1 ATS) aren’t nearly as strong as the team that went on to win Super Bowl 50 with Peyton Manning at the controls. Denver was a 2.5-point home dog when Osweiler upset New England in overtime.

This Sunday at Mile High, they’re getting 7.5 points against a Patriots team (6-2 SU, 4-4 ATS) that has won four straight at 3-1 ATS. The Broncos are on a four-game SU and ATS losing streak.

The weather should be different on Sunday, too. It was a cold and snowy night when Osweiler beat the Patriots two years ago. This weekend’s forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-40s at kick-off.
