Nets vs Rockets Prediction
The Houston Rockets have been consistent in both SU and ATS over the last month or so, and this is a game they should win. However, the Rockets are on the end of a back-to-back, and they have some key players out. The Brooklyn Nets have the rest advantage, and they just beat the Rockets on the road as a double-digit underdog a couple of days ago. In fact, the Nets have won five of the last six games against the Rockets overall. The Rockets have lost three straight games. A comfortable win for the Rockets wouldn’t be shocking, but there’s enough here to grab the points with the rested Nets at home.
