Houston Rockets vs NY Knicks Prediction

The Houston Rockets have been hit or miss this season through six games, and I need to see more consistency from this young team to back them with confidence. The NY Knicks have proven themselves on the road, and they’re only going to get better as they work in their new pieces. I’ll need an extra bucket or two to side with the Rockets. Give me the Knicks and the reasonable chalk.
