The Houston Rockets and New York Knicks take part in a marquee cross-conference matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Rockets are a well-oiled machine that continues to be competitive night in and night out. I like them to cover an alternate spread mixed with player props on Dillon Brooks and Karl-Anthony Towns in this +300 SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Rockets vs. Knicks same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Rockets +9.5 + Brooks over 13.5 points + Towns over 0.5 blocks (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rockets +9.5 <\/strong>(-195):<\/strong> Houston continues to be one of the best away teams in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rockets have an incredible 17-7 road record and have covered this teased-up spread in 12 straight away games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have the league’s best ATS record as an underdog on the road (7-2-1), per Team Rankings. In late January, the Rockets beat both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics in their home arenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston has been a hard team to beat big all season and I expect that to be the case again on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brooks over 13.5 points (-118):<\/strong> The Canadian is playing a ton of minutes for the Rockets and he’s scoring with great efficiency right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks plays 32.0 minutes per game this season so it’s worth backing him when he’s on a hot streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s cleared this line in three of his past four games, including a season-high 36 points on the road against the Celtics on Jan. 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those four contests, Brooks is scoring 21.3 points and shooting 51.4% on 8.8 three-point attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now Fred Van Vleet is sidelined with an injury opening up more touches for Brooks. I really like his floor tonight as a scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towns over 0.5 blocks (-235):<\/strong> Towns is in a major scoring slump right now but I’m backing the over on a defensive prop for the big man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leg is juiced considering Towns isn’t known for his rim protection but it brings the SGP from +160 to +310 and there’s some solid supporting data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has a block in 24-of-44 games this season (54.5%) which isn’t anything crazy but the Rockets have allowed the second most blocks to centres (2.7\/game), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first meeting against the Rockets back on Nov. 4, Towns recorded a block in the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Jan. 1, the Rockets allowed a block to 14-of-15 centres who started against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picks made at 11:45 a.m. on 02\/03\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
