Free Houston Rockets vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
What’s more, the Rockets had a rough outing against these Kings on Wednesday, and while I’m not ready to predict Friday will be worse than a 20-point loss, it’s tough to imagine things getting much better.
Rockets Down Starting PG
Without a doubt, with Kevin Porter Jr. likely out against Sacramento, the 9-point spread we’re seeing could look conservative by the final buzzer.
Also, it’s often said that the team on the wrong end of a blowout is the one that learns more about its opponent. But down their starting point guard, I can’t picture the Rockets applying any new lessons to this one.
All in all, I’m of the opinion that Sacramento gets the win at home, and it gets it big. Again.
