Command Analysis

Houston Rockets

Rockets had a chance to get on a new level and to get closer to the play-in zone. Surely Stephen Silas' men are now closer, but they are still among the bottom three teams of the Western Conference.

In recent matches Houston team achieved some big victories, including wins over Chicago (118:113), Brooklyn, who have an ex-Rocket James Harden in the squad (114:104), and Atlanta (132:126). All of those victories were pretty important for the underdog.

New York Knicks

Unfortunately for the Knicks, in the current moment the best basketball team in New York is Brooklyn Nets. As for Tom Thibodeau's men, they are hampered by serious problems and so far the head coach is unable to resolve them.

New York are not performing well now, in recent matches they were just terrible, so now team is dangerously close to the bottom three of the conference. Knicks suffered four consecutive defeats, two of them at Madison Square Garden. There is still time to change the situation, but New Yorkers need to resolve their problems, team has a pretty good squad, seems like the head coach is in a crisis.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-3) on New York

1.60

Houston started to perform better recently, but team is still too inconsistent. Rockets proved that they are able to perform better, but Knicks are not a comfortable opponent for Stephen Silas' team.

New York are going through hard times, but somewhen their crisis will end. Tom Thibodeau has a great squad, but his strategy is not working now. Head coach needs to admit his mistake and then we will see a better team on the floor.
