Sportsbook.com NBA Basketball Betting Odds<\/strong><\/a> – Houston Rockets Odds To Win NBA Title – 50\/1
\nOver\/under regular season wins Odds:<\/strong> 36.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

OK, you expected the big Chinese guy on the inside and Tracy McGrady dominating games with his scoring. That\u2019s not gonna happen. But somehow, some way these Rockets do something every year that makes everyone sit up and take notice. Maybe they can do it again.<\/p>\n

Yao Ming is done for the season, and may never play again. McGrady is out for the first month with yet another injury.
\n\"Online<\/p>\n

Key players added<\/strong> \u2013 Trevor Ariza, David Andersen<\/p>\n

Key players lost<\/strong> \u2013 Ron Artest<\/p>\n

And Ron Artest is suiting up for the Lakers. Strike one, strike two, strike three?<\/p>\n

Perhaps. But the Rockets still have a decent core:<\/p>\n

Seven-footer David Andersen has banged around in the European leagues and has shown some promise. Luis Scola is a high-energy forward and Shane Battier is as fundamentally sound as any big man in the league. Aaron Brooks, who came over from Orlando in the Rafer Alston trade, gets a full season at the point, and free agent signee Trevor Ariza will start in the backcourt until McGrady is recovered enough to return.<\/p>\n

And the Rockets really like Carl Landry off the bench.<\/p>\n

Surprising stat:<\/strong> The Rockets were the 5th<\/sup>-ranked defensive team in the NBA last season.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/strong> These guys will make it hard for opponents to score. There will be very few track meets.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong> Where are the points coming from? The top 3 scorers from last season are all gone.<\/p>\n

Playoffs?<\/strong> Probable, but things need to go right and McGrady needs to be at at least 80 percent efficiency when he returns. Seven or eight seed at best.<\/p>\n
