Detroit Pistons vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

After a close game in Detroit between the Rockets and Pistons on November 11, which the Rockets won 101-99, these teams meet again in January, this time in Houston, and the Rockets will be favored at the Toyota Center by around 7 points at the betting sites.

The Pistons have a 21-21 record, and in a very close game in the betting sites, they were unable to beat the Suns at Little Caesars Arena. From long range, the Pistons were particularly inaccurate, shooting just 9 of 33. Cunningham had 20 points and 11 assists, but that didn't overshadow Kevin Durant's 36 points. It's a two-game losing streak for the Pistons, which cut short the momentum that they had gained in 10 of the previous 12.

The Rockets are coming off a win and a -10.5 point handicap against the Trail Blazers in Portland. The final score was 125-103 with Green leading the Rockets with 26 points. The Rockets outrebounded the Blazers by more than 20, scoring as many as 61 that night.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Houston Rockets Prediction

Pistons are averaging as many as 14 3-pointers per game this season, something the Rockets should take advantage of on Monday. Of course holding Cunningham to under 22 points will be a key task for the Rockets defense, and the 4th best defensive rating in the NBA at 109.3 seems to suggest the Rockets will be able to take control of this game. For the Pistons this is the first round of a tough 5-game road trip that ends on January 29th against the Pacers. Our prediction for Pistons vs Rockets is: Rockets -6.5.

Prediction:

 

Rockets -6.5
