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.
