Going for the No.4 spot in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets have all the reasons in the world to post an emphatic win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are expected to sit out all their stars for the remainder of the season.
The Houston Rockets have won their last eight games and 10 of their last 12 games. The Rockets currently occupy the No.5 slot with a 51-29 record, but they will have an opportunity to overtake the Los Angeles Lakers and secure home-court advantage in the Western Conference playoffs if they can win their game on Friday against Minnesota. The Wolves have already lost four of their last five games and five of their last seven, including their 120-132 loss to the Orlando Magic on April 8.
Matchup: The Wolves and the Rockets have split their first two head-to-head meetings this season. The Rockets took the first game 110-105 on January 17 before the Wolves leveled the series at 1-1 with a close 110-108 win on March 26.
Hot on the Board: The Rockets are -550 favorites in their penultimate game of the season. Houston is also facing a double-digit handicap at -10.5 points, while Minnesota is trading at +400 as they are expected to sit out all these stars (Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Rudy Gobert) for this game.
