Here are some of the NBA basketball head-to-head sports betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
- HOU has won 11 of the last 12 meetings SU
- HOU is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings
- Eight of the last nine meetings have gone OVER the total
- HOU has won and covered the last five meetings as the road team
- Five of the last seven meetings in Chicago have gone OVER the total
- HOU has had the shooting edge in eight of the last ten meetings
- HOU has had the rebounding edge in five of the last seven meetings
- HOU has made more three-pointers in each of the last five meetings
It is believed that the Rockets are a better defensive team without Tracy McGrady in the lineup, and that is a perfectly reasonable assumption, since they have won six straight games and have held the opponent to 88 points or less in five of those contests.

Celtics vs. Pacers – Injury Bug hits Boston
The defending champion Boston Celtics are at home tonight to face the Indiana Pacers and will do so with some injuries to key players. Kevin Garnett has missed a week with a knee injury and will miss at least one more, and now Paul Pierce has dislocated his thumb and may have to miss time. Down the depth chart a little bit, the recent starter for Garnett, Brian Scalabrine strained his neck and will be out. If Paul Pierce does play he will not be at 100% and with KG already out the Boston Celtics depth will be tested against the Pacers. Since Stephon Marbury negotiated a buy-out with the Kincks, sources indicate he will be signed to add depth to an aging Boston team.
Indiana is getting 25 points per game and 1.5 blocks out of the freaky athletic Danny Granger. Granger is having an All-Star season, but he’s recently been bitten by the injury bug, suffering a tendon tear in his foot forcing him to miss 4 straight games and possibly the next month or so. Mike Dunleavy will miss the next couple of months with a knee injury, so the outlook on the rest of the year for the Pacers is bleak. With an overall record of 25-35, including a 7-24 road record, Indiana will have there hands full with the defending champs who have a 24-4 home record.
Boston has proved they can win without Garnett, playing well above .500 without him since he joined the team. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers demands defense first from his team no matter who is on the floor, a big reason for their success playing through injuries, and a big reason why the raised the NBA championship trophy last season. GM Danny Ainge should be given much of the credit for Boston’s recent success. He stuck with head coach Doc Rivers through the losing seasons, not making a rash decision when trying to evaluate the many, many losses. He utilized that young talent as trade bait when he pulled off blockbuster trades bringing in Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
