The Houston Rockets have the worst record in the Western Conference and the second-worst in the whole NBA. But, they’ll play today’s game fresh off an unbelievable 124-103 victory against the Denver Nuggets on their home court last Tuesday. Jalen Green shone in that game, leading Houston with 32 points scored.
Houston’s win over Denver set off a chain of surprising positive results for the Rockets over the last month, including victories over the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, although they played all these games at home.
For today’s game, they’ll be guests to the Hornets a position where they have the worst record in the league, with just six wins and 33 losses. After this match, the team will conclude their season with a visit to the Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Charlotte Hornets VS Houston Rockets Winner Prediction
The Hornets VS Rockets matchup is between two teams with the worst performance this season, but there are some factors you should consider.
Although Houston won the Nuggets in their previous game, their defensive records are terrible, allowing the third-highest average of points to their opponents, with 118.8 per game, and having the worst turnover rate, with 16.1 turnovers per 100 possessions.
These factors may be critical, which is why we believe that the Hornets may win today’s game. The match may be decided by the team with fewer slip-ups, as none of them stands out for their scoring ability.
