The Rockets are coming into this game with a 20-56 record overall and they are 11-26 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on.

The Rockets have an ATS record of 32-43-1 this season and their O/U record is 40-35-1.

 

 

The Kings are coming into this game off of a loss in their last game but they have not been awful recently with 2 wins in their last 3 games. They have not been beating any good teams recently but they are going up against a Rockets team here that is one of the worst in the NBA and is sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference. The Kings have actually shown a little fight in their recent games and they are getting a Rockets team that has not been great recently either. The Rockets have also won 2 of their last 3 games but both wins were against a depleted Trail Blazers team and they are coming off of a loss at home in their last game to another team from Texas, the Spurs. They will have some fire in this game from that loss but they have not been good all season and no amount of determination is going to help them play a lot better than how they have played this season. They will keep this game close but the Kings have some nicer pieces on their team and they should be able to edge out the Rockets by a few points in this game.
