Rockets vs Nets Pick Analysis
Brooklyn leading scorers Cameron Johnson (ankle) and Cam Thomas (hamstring) will remain sidelined for this contest. The Rockets are playing without several starters and are playing on consecutive nights. It would be dangerous to back Houston as such a big road favorite in the spot, so take the over. Final Score Prediction, Houston Rockets win 113-104.
