The 18-20 Portland Trail Blazers will host the 22-12 Houston Rockets for the second time in three days with the Trail Blazers sitting 9th in the West and the Rockets 6th before we make our prediction on the match.
The Trail Blazers won the game earlier on this week by a single point, 103-102. They have been flying of late, now winners of four straight and six of their last seven, including knocking off some big names in those games.
Deni Avdija was the star for the home team, picking up 41 points in the win, his best tally of the season so far and best since putting up 43 for the Wizards at the Pelicans in February 2024. Whether he has the same impact again is the question, 26 on average this season, five ahead of the Trail Blazers second top scorer.
Houston continued to find things tough on the road, losing for the eighth time in their last 11 on their travels. They have only scored 102 on average over their last three compared to 119 per game on the season.
They keep things tight defensively, only two teams in the NBA giving up fewer points per game on average than the Rockets. They now need to figure out winning on the road, just 11-10 away from Texas.
