The Houston Rockets invade the Barclays Center to battle the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. Here’s a Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

Houston Rockets 

The Houston Rockets have cooled off a bit recently as they are now hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Knicks in a 124-118 road defeat last night. Amen Thompson led the team with a triple-double of 25 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Jalen Green added 21 points with five rebounds and five assists while Cam Whitmore chipped in with 18 points off the bench. As a team, the Rockets shot 46 percent from the field and eight of 28 from the 3-point line as they kept the Knicks in check from the start and looked to be in control when they took a 12-point lead in the third quarter, only to get completely blown out by 46-29 in the fourth quarter to allow the Knicks off the hook in the end. 

Brooklyn Nets 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets look to have moved on from their ugly seven-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a third straight win after blowing past the Rockets in a 110-98 road win on Saturday. Ziaire Williams led the team with 21 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks, D'Angelo Russell added 18 points, Nic Claxton scored 17 points while Keon Johnson chipped in with 13 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Nets shot 49 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line as they played great defense from the start and restricted the Rockets to just 15 points in the second quarter to take a 15-point lead into halftime before they went on another run in the third quarter to push the margin out to 22 points at one stage. The Nets will take on the Wizards and Heat after this game.

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

  • The Rockets have lost 22 of their last 25 road games against Atlantic Division opponents.
  • The Nets have won each of their last five games against the Rockets at Barclays Center.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the Rockets' last five games at Barclays Center.
  • The Rockets have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last 10 road games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.

Why the Houston Rockets will win

  • The Nets have lost each of their last 11 home games.
  • The Rockets have won each of their last six road games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 night games at Barclays Center.
  • The Rockets have covered the spread in each of their last five games at Barclays Center following a loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Nets' last six home games has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Ten of the Rockets' last 11 games as road favorites against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.

Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Rockets are still missing Fred VanVleet and they are keeping an eye on Alperen Sengun who is dealing with calf soreness, while the Nets have again ruled out Bojan Bogdanovic, Ben Simmons, and Noah Clowney. The Rockets have gone a little cold with three wins in a row and they are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but they are still clear favorites despite losing to the Nets on Saturday. The Nets have the advantage of extra rest as they haven't played a game since the last meeting on Saturday, but I like the Rockets to get their revenge in a big win here.
