Houston Rockets vs Sacramento Kings Preview

Tue, Feb 9th. 01:00 (UK time)

The Rockets are the bottom team in the NBA. Although their priorities are not directed at competing for playoffs this season, probably everyone expected them to have more than 13 wins by now. They’ve been developing their young core throughout the season and in some instances, it doesn’t look bad for them at all.

They are the worst offensive team in the league, averaging only 110 PPG while letting their opponents score 118 which gives them a NET Rating of -8. Their opponents are shooting accumulatively 56% from the field which shows us their problems on the defensive aspect as well. For tonight they will be missing G. Matthews with a toe injury and K. Porter Jr with a foot injury.

The Kings have been a positive refreshment for everyone this season. Their offence is great, they found the middle ground and the synergy between their main stars D. Fox and D. Sabonis. They are currently the 3rd offensive team in the league, averaging almost 120 PPG while shooting an effective 58% FG percentage.

They are scoring 15 ppg in fastbreaks and 50 PPG in paint on a nightly basis. Their offensive arsenal is very wide. We believe tonight the two offences will go at each other relentlessly since both teams have to seek the win through their offence.

Last 3 games between these two teams finished with an Over 240.5 total point line. We expect nothing less tonight as the situation has not improved or worsened for either team. They have already played this season 3 times and all 3 games have gone past the aforementioned point line. We are playing Over 238.5 for more safety as the main line is pretty high.
