Why bet the Rockets:

✅ This is admittedly a pretty tough game to handicap as both the Houston Rockets and charlotte Hornets are inconsistent at best. Still , I strongly lean the Rockets laying 3.5 points on their home floor. This is a game I see as a toss-up and would side with whoever is getting the points. In this case, it’s the home teams and they’re getting 3.5 of them. This is an easy bet on the Rockets and I wouldn’t mind a moneyline wager as well.

✅ The Rockets played as a complete team for the first time in a while and beat the Raptors easily. Sterling Brown and Jae’Sean Tate both eclipsed 20 points while John Wall and Christian Wood were excellent complimentary pieces. Wall triple-doubled and looks to be finding his old form. He’ll get another solid matchup against a Hornets defense that rank 21st to opposing guards.

✅ The Hornets turn the ball over 14.9 times per game, giving them the second-worst mark in the entire league. The Houston Rockets will excel with the ball in space and John Wall isn’t a point guard you want to give extra chances to. Give me the Rockets to win this game and at least cover the spread.

✅ The Charlotte Hornets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.

✅ The over is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Every win and loss is extremely important in what will likely be a shortened season when all is said and done. These two teams have a ton of fresh talent and this will be a matchup we haven’t seen before.
