The Wizards put on a great show against Chicago on January 2nd in Washington, possibly having played the best basketball of the season so far. Brian Keefe's team came out on top, with Jordan Poole scoring an impressive 30 points. But after that, Washington hit a bit of a slump, losing two games in a row before their match with Houston. They lost to New Orleans twice, 120-132 away and 98-110 at home. The hosts currently sit in last place in the Eastern Conference standings, with the best chance of the first pick in the upcoming draft.
Houston
In their last game, the Rockets were ahead by 20 points early in the second half, but almost let the lead slip away. The Lakers had a chance to force overtime, but they couldn't quite pull it off. 119-115 - Houston got their second victory in five games. They also lost to Boston (86-109), Miami (100-104), and Minnesota (112-113) at home, and only beat Dallas (110-99). Despite not having the best results recently, Houston is still second in the Western Conference with 23-12. Only Oklahoma is higher in the West at the moment.
Expert Betting Tips
Houston won the first game over Washington in Texas this season by 15 points (107-92), but they'll likely end up behind again, not much has changed.The Wizzards are still at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, while Houston tops the Western Conference and the defencs rating. We're backing the Texans to win, and that Washington won't reach their individual total. Also, it'd be worth a bet on Washington winning on fouls. The Wizards break the rules 21.1 times on average per game, and Houston 19.8.
