Houston Rockets vs Indiana Pacers prediction

The Houston Rockets continue to have scoring issues, and they’re not finishing games, and they’ll be without VanVleet for this game due to an ankle issue. The Indiana Pacers are as healthy as they’ve been in a while, and we know what they’re capable of at full strength. The Pacers beat the Rockets by 6 points on the road a day after Christmas. At home, the Pacers have the ability to pull away and win comfortably. I’ll lay the chalk, even if it’s a fade of the Rockets more than anything, as the line is a bit beefy.
