On January 6, Wizards will host the underdog of the Western Conference, Rockets, and we made a prediction for this match. What to expect from this clash? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Washington Wizards

Capital club is going in right direction, they got extremely close to the play-off zone. Wes Unseld Jr. is trying to edge everything out of his players, but a number of key players are still on quarantine, so head coach is having a hard time now.

Washington played three matches at home and won two of them. Wizards put up a great performance in the previous match against Charlotte (124:121). It was an intense match, but Bradley Beal and co managed to get the victory.

Houston Rockets

Rockets are unable to get out of the bottom so far, so now they can only wait for the better times to come. Team can't compete against other teams in the league, for some moment team managed to impress, but their success was short-lived.

Houston lost eight consecutive matches, so situation is pretty dreadful. In the most recent match Silas' team lost the game to Philadelphia, opponent easily recorded a victory over the Texas team (113:133).

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+9,5) for Houston Rockets

1.60

Washington will try to take the matter into their own hands at home match, plus they are playing much more successfully in recent games. Capital club won't have a number of players, but team's main star, Bradley Beal, will be available to play.

Houston has nothing to lose now, team is already at the bottom spot of the Western Conference, plus club lost eight matches in a row. In our opinion, Rockets will play offensively at Capital One Arena and they should be able to avoid a blowout.
