Rockets v Knicks Best Bet: Derrick Rose over 17.5 points

Derrick Rose has excelled this season as the Knicks' sixth-man. However, the sixth-man doesn't just come off the bench, they have to be ready to start when players go down. With multiple guards in the league's health and safety protocols, Rose looks like a lock to get 30 plus minutes.

The Rockets, with Kevin Porter Jr out, have struggled to contain teams point guards. Trae Young scored 41 points against the Rockets on Monday and Darius Garland scored 21 points in only 25 minutes.

Rose has quietly had a late career resurgence and given 35 plus minutes he should have no problem getting to 18 points.

The Rockets might not be favorites but if you make the right bets every game can be worth watching. The game tips off at 7:00 Central time, so make sure you get your bets in before tip-off.
