Houston Rockets (45-29) and New York Knicks (48-25) will face off at the Toyota Center on Tuesday night. The Rockets, who are sixth in the Western Conference, have already secured their play-in spot, although the race to clinch the guaranteed places may go down to the wire. They’re just two games behind the fourth-placed Nuggets and 3.5 games ahead of the seventh-placed Suns. Ime Udoka will be keen to maximize their eight remaining games, especially at home.
Like the Rockets, the Knicks are also in a tight playoff race in the Eastern Conference. The visitors, who have already clinched a guaranteed playoff spot, are third in the standings, two games behind the Celtics and just a game ahead of the Cavaliers. Mike Brown’s men haven’t helped their course much recently after dropping their last two matches. They’ll want an immediate response against the Rockets.

Our Houston Rockets vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks are the -1.5 betting favorites. However, neither team has been convincing lately, so we cannot trust either of them on the spread. The Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games, while the Rockets are 4-6 in their last 10. New York’s attack has been poor lately, scoring an average of 112.4 points per game. We’ve seen them struggle against teams that defend resolutely, which was evident in their 100-111 loss to the Thunder last weekend. Note that the Rockets have the fourth-best defensive record in the league, and are 25-10 at the Toyota Center this season. Overall, we think the Rockets will win and cover the +1.5 spread.
Our prediction for Houston Rockets vs New York Knicks: Under 218.5 points.
