Houston Rockets - NBA Betting Analysis
The Rockets enter today's game having lost six straight, including a 137-115 loss to the Knicks. Kevin Porter Jr. led the team in scoring with 26 points on 57.1% shooting. Going into the game, oddsmakers had Houston as the 13.0 point underdog, resulting in an ATS loss for the team.
Now, the Rockets' overall record sits at 18-58, placing them 15th in the Western Conference. The team's current record at home is 12-26 and 6-32 on the road. The Rockets have failed to cover the spread in three straight games and have an overall ATS record of 29-45.
The Rockets come into today's game ranked just 29th in scoring at 110.4 points per contest. Across their last five games, the unit is averaging 110 points per game. A key to the Rockets' offensive struggles is their inability to consistently knock down three-pointers. So far, Houston is 20th in three-point attempts and 30th in percentage at 32.6%. The team's scoring numbers are also hampered by a below average pace of play. For the season, the Rockets are just 98.6 in possessions per game.
The Rockets will look to step up their defensive effort in today's game, as they currently sit at 29th in the NBA for points allowed per game (118.2). Although the team has held up well on the defensive glass (2nd) and forcing turnovers, at an average of 15.7 per game, they still have mediocre overall numbers. Opponents have hit 35.0% of their three-point shots and 48.4% of their overall field goal attempts against the Rockets.
Brooklyn Nets - NBA Betting Analysis
In Brooklyn's most recent game, Mikal Bridges led the team in scoring with 44 points, but the Nets fell to the Magic by a score of 119-106 to the Magic. Going into the game, oddsmakers had Brooklyn as the 1.5 point underdog, resulting in an ATS loss for the team.
Now, the Nets' overall record sits at 40-35, placing them 6th in the Eastern Conference. The team's current record at home is 19-16 and 21-19 on the road. This season, Brooklyn's ATS record sits at 39-35.
In their last five games, the Nets have averaging 112 points per contest which is similar to their season average. Overall, Brooklyn is ranked 19th in the league with a scoring average of 113.4 points per game. Brooklyn's three-point shooting numbers have been impressive this year, ranking 4th in the NBA with a shooting percentage of 38.0%. However, their overall numbers have suffered from an average pace of 97.9 possessions per game, which is just 21st. Their current field goal percentage of 48.9% is 5th in the league.
The Nets will be looking for a better defensive effort in today's game, as they are currently just 29th in the league at 118.2 points allowed per game. This figure comes despite ranking well in both defensive rebounds and turnovers forced. So far, Brooklyn is 2nd in defensive rebounds per game while also turning opponents over an average of 13.0 times per contest (11th). In terms of three-point shooting, the Nets have allowed team's to hit 35.0% of their looks from deep and 48.4% of their overall field goal attempts.
Today's NBA Betting Pick - Rockets vs. Nets
