Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 18-56
The team coached by Stephen Silas was one of the great disappointments of this edition of the NBA. They are at the bottom of the Western Conference, with 56 defeats out of 74 games played.
Although it improved its performance in March, with three wins in its last five games, it has suffered two losses in a row. The team’s most recent defeat was a severe one, as they were beaten 114-151 by the Memphis Grizzlies.
To make matters worse, their performance away from the Toyota Center has fallen short of expectations, with a 6-30 record that makes them the worst team in the division when playing away. They have not won in that condition in the last three weeks, since they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 122-110, which is another team that disappointed this season.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 42-33
Tom Thibodeau and the rest of the squad have had a superb season that has them in fifth place in the East, five games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs would be their opponents in the long-awaited Playoffs, if they finish the regular phase like this.
However, the performance of the New York team has been concerning, as the team has suffered three losses in a row, a string that is jeopardizing their direct access to the next round. Therefore, a good result in this Rockets vs Knicks game is crucial to pull away from both the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat, their immediate pursuers.
At home, the New Yorkers own a 20-17 record, the ninth-best record in the division. Still, of their last 10 games played at Madison Square Garden, they have come out on top in seven occasions. That is a fact that invites to bet on the home team winning this Rockets vs Knicks game.
JefeBet Prediction
The differences between the two teams are clear. Houston has the third-worst offense in the league (110.6) and the third worst shooting percentage from the field (45.6%).
As if that weren’t enough, the Texans also have the second-worst defense in the league, conceding 118.7 points per game. For this reason, at JefeBet, we believe that in this Rockets vs Knicks game, the home team will end its bad streak and win by a wide difference.
Prediction: New York Knicks Spread (HOU 108-120 NYK).
