Command Analysis
Rockets were losing for a long time, but now Texas team chose to surprise everyone. Team managed to improve the performance and recorded six consecutive victories, but so far they are unable to get out of the bottom three in the Western Conference.
In the most recent match Houston recorded a confident victory over New Orleans (118:108). Christian Wood and Eric Gordon are now the main attacking options of the Rockets and they managed to break the opponent's defense. Steven Silas is very happy with team's performance, but now his team is approaching the tough challenge - they will face the Nets, led by James Harden.
Nets are sticking with their plan for the season and are performing pretty consistently. Club's board counted on star trio, but Kyrie Irving is not playing because he decided not to take the vaccine, so Kevin Durant and James Harden are team's main attacking options.
Brooklyn are still one of the main title contenders. In the previous match Nets took down Dallas, but it was a very close game. Mavericks were looking better in the first half, but eventually failed to hold on to their lead (99:102).

Houston surprised everyone with their performance in recent matches. Team put up a streak of six consecutive victories, which is a great achievement, but now team will host the leader of the East, so it will be extremely difficult match for the Rockets.
Brooklyn are coming for a victory, because Chicago are catching up to them, Bulls are waiting for the Nets' mistake to get the top spot. James Harden is coming back to Toyota Arena, he played a number of seasons here, so The Beard will be extremely motivated for this match. In our opinion, Nets will beat the hosts in this match.
