Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Season Record: 10-30
In the last 13 games, they have had only one victory. Yes, the Rockets have only been successful in winning one of their last thirteen games, a 113-118 victory over the Chicago Bulls. I don’t see how they can become any better, as they are a terrible team and already have the NBA’s worst record.
Now, they have a doubleheader coming up against the Kings, a much more consistent team, and their new 7-game winning streak could increase if they don’t flat out try harder on both sides of the court. Kevin Porter Jr has improved greatly as a leader of the squad, and even that hasn’t been enough.
The 23-year-old guard averaged 22.7 points per game during his previous 10 outings. He must be tired of watching the Rockets struggle. Moreover, the team may be instead looking ahead to next season and hoping for this one to end.
Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Season Record: 21-18
Yes, the Kings are competing with the Rockets, but they’re also struggling. They have had two victories in the last five games. They score a lot, but their defense can occasionally be a mess. A clear example of this is the 136-134 loss to the Lakers.
Domantas Sabonis, who averages 10 boards a game, is still in peak form underneath the basket. He makes sure everyone gets the ball, and is very dominant. De’Aaron Fox, who has scored 25.5 points on average in 10 games, is another player who is having a great run.
The Kings are in the direct qualification zone, but they must be much more consistent if they do not want to fall further. They have the Clippers and Suns on their tails, and if they get distracted, they will pass them.
JefeBet Prediction
Sacramento is strong both at home and on the road. Houston continues to be very weak on all lines, thus we believe this second game of the doubleheader will go to the Kings. They won’t be able to stop Sabonis, who will be a rebounding machine, and they’ll struggle to stop the team’s scoring tandem of Harrison Barnes and Fox.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings Moneyline.
