Houston Rockets v Brooklyn Nets: Betting Tips

Jalen Green is a favorite to lead the way as the young Rockets star continues to fly high. The 22-year-old has averaged 23.4 points in his last 10 games and should be a favorite to cross the 20-point mark against the Nets.

Green had 29 points against the Nets in their previous meeting, and if given the space could replicate the same numbers again.. Apart from Green, Ausar Thompson will be another name to watch out for.

Meanwhile, D'Angelo Russell continues his redemption arc with the Brooklyn Nets and will be an instrumental figure once again. The 28-year-old had 18 points, and 3 assists against the Rockets on Saturday and will be a favorite to achieve 3.0 more assists, as he averages 6.2 assists.

Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets: Prediction

Although the Houston Rockets seem like the favorites to get the win, they had lost to the same opponents at the Toyota Center a few days back. The Texan outfit has been a great team to watch, but the lack of experience has hurt them.

Looking to avoid four straight losses for the first time this season, the Rockets should mount a comeback against the Nets. Brooklyn will need to be at their best if they want to beat the Rockets again and be in contention for a play-in spot.
