Play: Washington +3 -110
Time: 12:30 p.m. ET
TV: ABC
Reasoning: My power ratings say Houston should only be favored by one point. The Wizards are 26-11 at home and have won six of their last seven there. They beat the Rockets, in the only other meeting this season, at Houston on Dec. 29. Washington shoots better from everywhere, is better on the glass, commits fewer turnovers and has the deeper bench. At home those advantages are even more pronounced. Additionally, the Rockets will be without three regulars (Donatas Motiejunas, Patrick Beverley and Terrence Jones) because of injuries. Those three combine for 34.5 ppg and 17.5 rpg. Plus the Wizards could have Kris Humphries (8.1 ppg, 6.7 rpg) back from a groin injury.
Record: 319-247-11 (56.4%)
Bankroll: 193.42%
