Kings at Rockets (Feb. 8): Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet
Having allowed 293 combined points over their past two games, the young and rebuilding Houston Rockets have made life easy in recent days for bettors picking the over in their games.
On Wednesday, two nights after giving up 140 points in a blowout loss to Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox and a potent Sacramento offense, the Rockets are tasked with somehow turning it around in the same arena versus the same opponent. Head coach Stephen Silas is calling his team out in hopes of finding a spark, but will it work?

Advice and prediction
The Kings are 3-0 versus the Rockets this season, with all three victories coming over the past month. Every win has come by 20 or more points, and with Sacramento scoring at least 135 as a team.
It’s a rough matchup defensively for a young Houston squad — and at this point, it’s tough to deny the obvious trend line.
Prediction: Kings 126, Rockets 116
