Detroit Pistons at Houston Rockets Preview
A duel between two rising teams at the Toyota Center promises great entertainment and a thrilling game.
The Houston Rockets have firmly positioned themselves as strong contenders for home-court advantage, but can the Pistons complicate their plans and take away a win that seemed all but guaranteed?
At the very least, the Pistons can be competitive until the final minutes of the game.
Houston Rockets Form & Team News
Before coach Udoka took over the Houston bench, the team struggled to turn their talent and potential into results. That changed when the former Boston Celtics coach assumed control.
The Rockets had a strong season last year, but even the most optimistic fans likely didn't expect them to hold the second spot in the Western Conference in January.
Currently, they boast a 28-13 record and are in excellent form, having won 6 of their last 7 games.
Their most recent victims were the Portland Trail Blazers, who were convincingly defeated 125-103 on the road.
As usual, the standout performers in the win were Jalen Green, with 26 points, and Alperen Sengun, who came close to a triple-double with 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Detroit Pistons Form & Team News
Before the season began, most predictions had the Pistons at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, fighting for a high draft pick. However, Cade Cunningham had different plans.
In his fourth NBA season, the young guard is playing the best basketball of his career. His breakout has been one of the main reasons the Pistons are holding a .500 record at the halfway point of the season.
Another great addition to the team has been the return of the long-discussed Tobias Harris, whose veteran experience is invaluable to this young squad.
Detroit has suffered defeats in their last two games against the Pacers and Suns, but that won't shake the confidence of a team that's on the right path.
Unfortunately, due to a serious leg injury, Jaden Ivey’s season has come to an end. However, all other players are healthy and ready for the upcoming game.
Head to Head
Houston have had much more success in recent seasons in direct matchups. The Rockets have won the last 6 encounters against the Pistons.
Verdict
In the past month, Coach J. B. Bickerstaff’s team has rarely been outplayed, and I expect that trend to continue in this game.
The visitors might just be able to cover the handicap.
