Preview

Houston Rockets will meet Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday in Houston, this will be the second game between them after Houston Rockets won the first game 114-104 which was also in Houston. Brooklyn are playing for a better play in position here.

Brooklyn Nets are in a bad form in the moment winning only 2 games in last 6 games which puts them in 10th place behind Charlotte Hornets who they will face in the play in most likely and they should get better if they want to get a playoffs position because Charlotte can make an upset if they weren't ready. Then Nets have lost to Houston earlier this season but they should win this one here but i don't think they will cover.

Houston Rockets have been playing with no pressure in recent games as they are in the 15th place and they will getting a good draft pick. The have covered 4 of last 5 games and they are showing that they can compete with the good teams lately. Jalen Green and KPJ have been playing really well lately and getting a lot of minutes and i like them to keep this game close.

Trends

Rockets are 4-1-1 ATS last 6 games.

Rockets games have gone Over in 4 of last 5 games

Head to Head

Houston have the advantange when it comes to last 10 games, The Rockets are 6-4 straight up and 5-5 ATS last 10 games vs the Nets. The O/U is also 5-5 with Brooklyn Nets are averaging 116.1 points and Houston Rockets are averaging 119.8 points a game.

Prediction

I don't think Brooklyn should be laying that many points vs anyone and especially that the Rockets have been covering a lot in the last few games. Nets covered only 2 games in last 11 home games and they only covered 1 game last 5 games overall while the Rockets cover 4 of last 5 games. It's very simple to me i like the Rockets plus the points tonight.

Pick: Houston Rockets +17.5 (-110)
