Action: Houston — NO @ 36%

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM · Uncertainty: MEDIUM

Why:
- Line movement against Houston (spread from +3.5 to +4.5, moneyline drifted).
- No clear injury advantage; Memphis's Clayton out is not a Houston benefit as Houston has no surfaced edge.
- Market prices Houston as a clear underdog; prior blowout win over Memphis was regular season, not summer league.
