Betting On The Houston Rockets To Make NBA Playoffs

The Houston Rockets have +600 odds to make the NBA Play-In Tournament and have won their last eight games.
The Warriors are only 1.5 games ahead of the Rockets for the last play-in spot and have lost six of their last ten games.

HOUSTON – The Houston Rockets are riding an eight-game win streak and have +600 odds to make the West Play-In Tournament, with 12 regular season games remaining. Houston is currently one and a half games back from the Warriors and is favored to keep narrowing that gap tonight.

A big part of the turnaround has been Jalen Green, who has averaged 27.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in the last ten games.

The Rockets are playing the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, who have lost their last six games.

Rockets Vs Blazers Game Lines

Moneyline: Blazers +475/Rockets -700
Spread: Blazers +12.5 (-115)/Rockets -12.5 (-105)
Total: Over 224.5 (-115)/Under 224.5 (-115)

A win over the Blazers in Portland tonight would put the Rockets only a half game behind the Golden State Warriors, who have gone 4-6 in their last ten and would shorten their odds at legal NBA betting sites to make the tournament.

Odds To Make Western Play In Tournament

Lakers -5000
Warriors -3500
Suns -200
Kings -160
Mavericks -130
Pelicans +250
Rockets +600

After the game tonight against Portland, Houston has one more matchup against the Blazers this season, along with two games against the Utah Jazz. The tougher remaining matchups for the Rockets to end the season will be against Minnesota, Miami, Orlando, OKC, and Dallas.

The Warriors may only be favored at legal sports betting sites to win in five of their last 12 games of the season. Golden State lost their last game played against the Minnesota Timberwolves and now have to face the Heat and the Magic back to back on the road. After that stretch, the Warriors will face the Mavs twice, the Rockets, Lakers, and the Pelicans.

On April 4, the Rockets and the Warriors face off at Golden State, which could be the biggest game that both teams have played all season. Golden State has won both games played against the Rockets this season.

If the Play-In Tournament started today, the Kings, Mavs, Lakers, and Warriors would be the four participating teams.
