The Brooklyn Nets travel to the Toyota Center to take on the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets Pick.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

The Brooklyn Nets have gotten off to a slow start as they have now lost three in a row after getting routed by the Spurs in a 118-107 road defeat last night. Cam Thomas tried his best as he led the team with 40 points on 11 of 25 shooting. Michael Porter Jr added 16 points with six rebounds and four assists, while Nic Claxton chipped in with 10 points and five rebounds, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.

As a team, the Nets shot just 39 percent from the field and 16 of 50 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Spurs from the start and fell behind by as many as 25 points. However, they rallied to take the lead in the fourth quarter, only to go cold once again and allow the Spurs to close the game on a 10-0 run. 

Houston Rockets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have dropped their first two games of the season and they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after coming up just short to the Pistons in a 115-111 home defeat on Friday. Kevin Durant led the team with a game-high 37 points on nine of 18 shooting, Alperen Sengun added 17 points with seven rebounds and seven assists while Jabari Smith Jr and Steven Adams each scored 11 points.

As a team, the Rockets were aggressive in getting to the free throw line where they outscored the Pistons by 37-15. However, it still wasn’t enough to overcome a cold shooting night, as they shot just 38 percent from the field and 10 of 22 from the 3-point line. Jabari Smith Jr shot just three of 14 from the field, Amen Thompson shot just two of eight from the field while Reed Sheppard shot just three of 11 from the field off the bench.

Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Nets are still missing Haywood Highsmith, Drake Powell and Ziaire Williams, while the Rockets are missing Fred VanVleet and Dorian Finney-Smith. The Nets are still searching for their first win of the season and they were more than competitive against the Spurs last night. Before they pulled the plug to allow the Spurs to run away with it in the final minutes.

The Nets also beat the Rockets in both meetings last season, but they are playing their second game of a back to back set, so I understand why the Rockets are so heavily favored this time round. The Rockets are still playing with an experimental tall starting lineup, but I don’t think it matters in this one. Perhaps the Nets get off to a quick start and hang around in the first half, but I think we see them pull the plug like they did last night to allow the Rockets to pull away in the end.
