Houston Rockets at New York Knicks Pick
Given the manner in which the public is approaching this contest, it seems that many are gluttons for punishment. From a textbook perspective, the Rockets would normally be classed as the team with a diminished stock and a value play against a team riding a hot hand. However, the opposite is the fact in this case. The presence of James Harden and Chris Paul on Clutch City’s starting line-up is what many takers are banking on but so far it is questionable to ascertain whether or not this experiment has been working like it should. One thing remains certain, the Knicks are a far better basketball team than many expected and while the market has yet to fully catch up to them we will take advantage of an undervalued club. Take the points.

Take New York +5
