The Houston Rockets may be the scariest team in the Association right now. They’ve won seven in a row and nine of ten, and they sit atop the Western Conference, a game ahead of Golden State. They have an electric offense but — more importantly — have committed to ironclad defense, a commitment that they have never really made in the past. That’s what has them a few steps ahead of Golden State and San Antonio. The surprising Denver Nuggets sit at 13-9 and look like they may have staying power in a tough West. In the East, Boston remains atop the standings with a 20-4 record, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have put up an eleven-game winning streak to move to 16-7, second in the conference. LeBron James has stepped into the wayback machine and is scoring points at an incredible pace. Can he keep it up, though? Let’s take a look at some of your best NBA betting picks for this week.
