Charlotte Hornets vs Houston Rockets Prediction: High-Quality Game

Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Houston Rockets match which will take place on April 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Hornets will play their fourth home game. Steve Clifford's team lost the first three meetings with a difference of 20+ points. First, Charlotte failed to win over Chicago (91:121) and then lost twice to Toronto (108:128 and 100:120). Such hopeless defeats are unsurprising – Charlotte finishes the regular season without five starting players. The Hornets will remain the penultimate team in the Eastern Conference, so there is no point in risking the health of the leaders.

Unlike Charlotte, the final place of the Rockets is still unknown. Stephen Silas' team may be both the last and the penultimate in the West. Despite defeats being better for Houston than victories, given that the last place gives the best chance of the draft's first pick, the Texans succeeded in the previous game. And over the first team of the Western Conference Denver - 124:103. Jalen Green scored 32 points for Houston in this game, Alperen Sengun scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Jabari Smith scored 16 and 13 rebounds.

Charlotte has problems with scoring in almost all of the last games. All the team's main scorers are in the infirmary. At the same time, the Hornets often perform well in defense. Still, Steve Clifford is a defensive expert and knows how to make an exciting play scheme on his half. Moreover, Houston often plays high-quality games in terms of defense against teams of equal class.
