Rockets vs Nets Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets continue to stack up the losses, and I don’t expect much to change when you consider their injury report. The Houston Rockets will be eager to rebound after blowing that game against the Grizzlies, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them take out some frustration on the lousy Nets. The Rockets are still playing great ball overall, and they’re 28-18-1 ATS on the season. Massive line but for good reason. The Nets are banged up and playing poorly. The Rockets are on a tear and gaining confidence by the week. Assuming the Rockets don’t play with their food, this game shouldn’t be close. Give me the Rockets in a home beatdown.
