Knicks vs. Rockets Odds
Knicks vs. Rockets Preview
The Rockets enter this matchup as the NBA’s most dominant rebounding unit. Ime Udoka’s boys rank first in the league with 48.6 boards per game. Houston’s ability to control the glass allows them to dictate the tempo and limit second-chance opportunities for opponents.
Houston is 25-10 at the Toyota Center, and now comes back home following a four-game tour through the country. Do know that the Rockets won the last two events, one in Memphis and the other in New Orleans.
The Knicks have back-to-back losses right now. This will be the third game on the road for Brunson and the guys, who previously lost to the Hornets, 114-103, and the OKC Thunder, 111-100.
Right now, the team is third in the East, with a slightly positive road record of 20-18.
Knicks vs. Rockets Head to Head
New York won the first meeting of the year, 108-106, back on February 21st at Madison Square Garden.
Stats to Know Before Betting

- The total has gone OVER in 4 of New York’s last 5 games.
- Houston is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.

Knicks vs. Rockets Predictions
When the Rockets play at home, they are possibly the best team in the NBA. We are sure that the Knicks, despite their physicality and athleticism, won’t be able to compete with Durant and the guys at Toyota Center, and that the hosts will win and cover the spread.
- Free NBA Pick: Rockets -2.5
