Command Analysis
Brooklyn Nets
USACurrent form
The Nets are still at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table. This season, the team is not showing stability, but sometimes it makes good matches. Brooklyn recently beat Charlotte (104:83) and unexpectedly defeated Houston (110:98). In that meeting, Jordi Fernandez's men dominated the floor most of the time, and the Rockets were able to prove themselves only in the end.
Despite the victories, the team still has problems. Offensively, the Nets are heavily dependent on individual actions, and the defense can't always handle fast teams. The next match is a great opportunity to prove that the success against Houston was not accidental.
Disqualifications and injuries
Noah Clooney, Maxwell Lewis, Tyrese Martin and De'Anthony Melton will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Nets celebrated the victory.
Approximate line-up: Wilson - Williams, Claxton-Johnson, Russell.
Houston Rockets
USACurrent form
The Rockets started the season great, but they're going through a crisis right now. The team lost second place in the West and has been unable to win three matches in a row. Ime Udoka's team lost to Memphis (119:120), then unexpectedly lost to Brooklyn (98:110) and could not cope with New York (118:124). Obviously, there are problems in the team that require urgent solutions.
The main task of the Rockets is to regain confidence and take revenge on the Nets. The team is aiming for second place and cannot afford to continue the losing streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jabari Smith and Fred Vanvleet will not play in the next match due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Houston has scored 17 away wins this season.
Approximate composition: Tate-Brooks, Eason-Thompson, Green.

1.89Tip and bets
Brooklyn took advantage of Houston's problems and won the last meeting. However, it is doubtful that they will be able to repeat this success. The Rockets drew conclusions after the defeat, and their head coach probably made adjustments. Three defeats in a row is already an alarming signal for a team that is fighting for the top positions of the West. We assume that Houston will play with more concentration and take revenge for the recent setback.
Our forecast is that Houston will win with a handicap of (-7.5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
Houston will try to dominate the floor, especially after a series of setbacks. Brooklyn will definitely focus on defense to prevent the opponent from scoring many points. Most likely, the match will take place in a fight, but without high performance. We suggest betting on a total of less.
Forecast - total less than 212.5 points for 1.66
Betting on statistics
The Nets cannot count on an optimal squad, as a number of players are injured. The home parquet factor will help the owners, but it is unlikely that this will be enough. We assume that Brooklyn will face a tight Houston defense and will not be able to show high performance.
Prediction – Brooklyn's individual total is less than 100.5 points per 1.90
