Kings and Rockets both had close games on Sunday, but the Rockets were able to come away with a 119-116 win over the Thunder while the Kings lost to the Spurs at the Golden 1 Center as 6.5-point favorites at the betting sites.

The Rockets beat the electric Thunder team at the Toyota Center as slight underdogs and what started as a good start for the Rockets seems to have carried over into the season as they are second in the Western Conference with a 15-6 record and beat the Thunder to hand them their fifth loss. This season, no other team in the NBA that has played more than 5 games as an underdog at the betting sites managed to have a higher percentage than the 66.7% win rate of the Rockets who have a 4-2 record when the opposing team is the favorite.

Meanwhile, more was expected from this Kings team that has not made a strong showing at the Golden 1 Center this season and where in fact it has a poor record of 4-7. The last game on Sunday for the Kings was an especially painful loss as they blew a lead that was as much as 17 points against the Spurs.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets Prediction

Three Kings men on Sunday, De Rozan, Sabonis and Fox were able to score more than 20 points but it was still not enough to win due to the poor defensive effort of the team that allowed 69 points in the second half. Van Vleet scored a season-high 38 points for the Rockets earlier in the day against the Thunder. The last three games between the Kings and Rockets have all been won by Houston as an underdog in all of them, and perhaps another win for the visitors at Golden 1 Center seems likely. Our prediction for Kings vs Rockets is: Rockets ML.
