    SBG Global Opening Line: Rockets - 5

    The Houston Rockets and Tracy McGrady will look to continue their winning ways tonight as they try to complete a season sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies. The Rockets have won the first three meetings against the Grizzlies this season. The Grizzlies have been terrible against Southwest division teams this year going a combined 0-10 against the Rockets, Dallas, New Orleans and San Antonio. The gambling public knows about this match-up, as
    SBG Globalreports that early money is pounding the Rockets dropping the line from 5 down to 3.

    This is the start of a brief two-game road trip for the Rockets, who visit Dallas on Friday. The Rockets just completed a five-game homestand by defeating Minnesota 105-77 yesterday. Tracy McGrady scored 16 of his 32 points in the third quarter to lead the Rockets. Juwan Howard had 20 points and eight rebounds and Luther Head scored 20 points. The Rockets have won five of their last six overall and became the sixth team in the Western Conference to reach 30 wins. "That's the type of team we need to be, night in, night out," McGrady said. "We've got to be one of those teams that understands how good we really could be. Tonight, it really showed."

    Houston is a 3 point road favorite with a total of 209 at
    SBG Global.

    The Rockets have been doing quite well without Yao Ming, mainly due to McGrady. They are 14-6 with Ming out of the lineup. McGrady scored 38 points in Houston's last meeting with Memphis, a 111-109 Rockets victory. He is averaging 22.4 points in 21 career games against the Grizzlies.

    Memphis can’t seem to win anywhere including their home court where they are 1-3 on a current five game homestand. The Grizzlies have dropped four of their last five games overall. They are coming off a 116-110 loss to the Pacers on Saturday. Pau Gasol had 30 points for Memphis and Mike Miller added 26 points, but it wasn't enough.
