Moneyline
The Hornets have allowed no fewer than 110 points so far this season while the Rockets have failed to reach 100 points in 2 of 3 games so far and haven’t allowed fewer than 106 points so far.
Last season, the road team won both matchups.
BET HORNETS (+110).
Against the spread
The Rockets have yet to cover the spread this season while the Hornets covered the spread in their season-opening win, but failed to cover the spread in either of their losses.
The Hornets have covered the spread in their last 3 games against the Rockets and in 6 of the last 7 meetings.
But you are better going with the plus odds with the moneyline here.
