À medida que o calendário muda para março, não podemos deixar de começar a analisar como a NBA se moldará para os playoffs, que estão a apenas alguns meses de nós.Uma dessas equipes que está em direção à pós-temporada é o Rockets.Eles sediarão o Pistons na noite de sábado no Texas, no que é um jogo cheio de incompatibilidades enquanto apoiamos os anfitriões para conquistar a 40ª vitória da temporada.
With a win on Saturday night, the Rockets would become the fifth team in the strong Western Conference to secure their 40th win of the season. With an 8-2 mark in their last 10 games played, the Rockets have moved to fifth in the conference standings and are just three games out of the second spot in the hotly contested West. After securing a dominant win in game one of this regular season series, the Rockets will look for the sweep tonight.
The Pistons are desperately trying to get into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, but have not had any luck lately. In the midst of a three-game losing streak, the Pistons sit 3.5 games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference and do not seem to be headed upwards anytime soon. Detroit is just 10-16 on the road this season and they allow more than 103 points-per-game.
In what should be another win over Detroit tonight in Texas, the Rockets are preparing for this game like any other, by not overlooking their opponent in what could be a trap game. We will be placing our bets on the Rockets over at Sportsbetting.ag to win this contest. We will drop 15 percent of our bankroll on Houston with the -11 (-110) spread over the Pistons.
