Houston Rockets vs Washington Wizards Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

The consistent Rockets returned to winning ways after losing to the reigning champions, the Cletics, last Friday in Houston. They also got back to winning ways in Houston by beating the Lakers on Sunday 119-115 and on Thursday they have an easy game against the team with the worst record in the NBA, the Wizards with a 6-27 record. Even though the game will be in Washington DC, the Rockets will be 9.5-point favorites at the betting sites, as Houston has a solid 10-5 record on the road this season, while they also cover the spread frequently as their ATS record this season is 20-15-0.

The Rockets were able to win the last game against the Lakers even though from the free throw line they were highly inaccurate, shooting only 11 of 19, but the 52 points in the paint made up for that gap. However, the Lakers never had a very large lead, and a key last play saw VanVleet intercept the pass intended for LeBron James and close out the game.

Meanwhile, the Wizards, in the duel for not having the worst record in the league, fell against the Pelicans at home, committing 15 turnovers and being blocked 8 times. They already lost against the Rockets last November 107-92.

Our Houston Rockets vs Washington Wizards Prediction

Even the Wizards' top scorer hasn't even averaged 16.0 this season, while they are also weak on defense this year. It's hard for them to win even 3 games a month, and a development like the first Wizards-Rockets game is likely to happen again on Tuesday. The last win was by 15 points in November, and the Rockets have beaten the Wizards in 8 of their last 10 games. Our prediction for Rockets vs Wizards is: Rockets -9.5.
