Both of these teams will be in the 2025 draft looking for a top 3 lottery pick and frankly it's tough for me to pick a side. I'll take the under with both teams trending that way given their poor shooting from range and the game being in Houston, those big guards for Houston should be able to put clamps on the Hornets in route to their first win. Not much to say really about this game, but if the Rockets are favored to win, then this tells me the books think that the defensive quality of the home team should fair well against the Hornets who I feel will be trading away players mid season while Rockets are already in the rebuild stage and have progressed farther in getting their team in the right direction though they are currently winless. Rooting for alot of misses and some good defense here.
