Brooklyn Nets vs. Houston Rockets: How to Watch, Game Preview, TV Channel, Betting Odds
Game Preview:
After their surprising road victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday (110-98), the Brooklyn Nets return home to Barclays Center for a quick rematch just three days later. The Nets will look to extend their win streak to three games against a Rockets team that showed flashes of promise but couldn’t close out the game on their home turf.
Betting Odds:
- Brooklyn Nets: 9.5-point underdogs
- Total Over/Under: 211 points
Keys to the Game:
- Shut Amen Thompson Down, Again
Amen Thompson has been one of the NBA’s brightest young stars in his sophomore season. However, the Nets limited him to just eight points in the last matchup, one game after he posted 21 points and then followed up with a 25-point performance against the Knicks. The game plan worked and will need to be utilized again. - Key in on Jalen Green
Although Thompson struggled, Jalen Green exploded for nearly 30 points in the previous matchup. The Nets should make slowing down the dynamic guard a top priority in this rematch, as he proved to be the sole offensive spark for Houston in the last game. - Rely on a Balanced Attack
Despite missing Cam Thomas, Cam Johnson, and Noah Clowney, Brooklyn produced a strong team performance with all five starters scoring in double figures. Ziaire Williams led the charge with 21 points. With the same injuries still in place, the Nets will have another opportunity to distribute the offensive load across multiple players.
