Trail Blazers vs. Rockets: Game Preview, Betting Odds

In this story:
The Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers are running it back for their second game in as many nights at the Toyota Center.
Last night, the two teams faced off in an Emirates NBA Cup match, but the standard floor has been rolled out for tonight's continuation of the regular season.
The Blazers and Rockets are two young teams, but the latter has sprinkled in the right veterans to get them over the hump, and they appear to be inching closer to the Western Conference playoff picture.
The Rockets will look to stay hot at home while the Blazers look to pull off an upset against Houston.
