Rockets vs Nets Prediction

The Nets are awful, and their owner admitted they’re going to tank the season away. It doesn’t help the Nets are banged up and on the end of a back-to-back. The rested, more talented Rockets could take out some frustration and lay the wood here. However, the Rockets have yet to play to their potential and this is simply a big number no matter how you slice it. This will be just the fourth time since 2020 where the Rockets are favorites of 14 or more points. You just don’t get lines this large often. There are better options out there, but it’s Nets or pass for me.
