What to Know

The Brooklyn Nets might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Houston Rockets at 8 p.m. ET Dec. 8 at Toyota Center. The Nets won’t have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 6.5-point advantage in the spread.

Things were close when Brooklyn and the Dallas Mavericks clashed on Tuesday, but Brooklyn ultimately edged out the opposition 102-99. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Brooklyn’s point guard James Harden did his thing and almost posted a triple-double on 23 points, 12 dimes, and nine boards.

A well-balanced attack led Houston over the New Orleans Pelicans every single quarter on their way to victory on Sunday. Houston came out on top against New Orleans by a score of 118-108. The Rockets can attribute much of their success to power forward Christian Wood, who shot 5-for-6 from downtown and finished with 23 points and eight rebounds, and shooting guard Eric Gordon, who had 23 points and five assists.

The Nets are now 17-7 while Houston sits at 7-16. Brooklyn is 10-6 after wins this season, Houston 5-1.
