Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 11-37
After a series of 3 home games,the Houston Rockets travel to Detroit to try to impose conditions against an opponent whose situation is as precarious as theirs. So, it will practically be a duel to define which of the two is the worst team in the league.
However, the away numbers are not encouraging, as they have only won 4 out of the 25 games played in this condition. In fact, they are on a losing streak of 8 consecutive defeats away from home.
One of the aspects they must improve if they want to better their numbers before the season is the offense: they have the second-worst average with 109.7 units per night.
Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 12-37
After playing against the Nets at the Barclays Center, the Detroit Pistons return home to try to break the bad sequence of results they have had in this condition, losing their four last games. The last one was against the Milwaukee Bucks by 150-130.
This score shows why they are the second-worst team in defense, averaging 120.3 points allowed per night, an amount that is also not supported by the offense, ranking in the top 6 of the teams with the worst average in this department.
Detroit is fortunate to be the only team that has not taken advantage of its home advantage in the entire championship, winning the same number of games (6) as when it has played away.
JefeBet Prediction
It is difficult to predict a winner in this match due to the irregularity of both franchises so far this season. In many cases, the favorite would be the home team, but Detroit has been just as bad at home as away.
However, the Pistons’ last few games have had really high point totals, a trend that, when facing an opponent that ranks as the fifth-worst team on defense, could continue to lengthen on Saturday night.
Prediction: Over.
