Matchup: Houston Rockets vs. Washington Wizards
The Houston Rockets will take on the Washington Wizards this Tuesday. The Wizards have officially been eliminated from postseason contention, while the Rockets are making a last second playoff push. Washington is the worst team in the NBA at 11-57 (16.2%), lost 4 consecutive games, and went 2-8 in their last 10. The Rockets are 11th in the West at 32-35 (21.5 games up on Washington), but they went 7-3 in their last 10, including a 5-game win streak, which is tied for the longest current streak in the NBA. The Rockets are red-hot and will face little to no resistance against the bottom-feeding Wizards.

Rockets vs. Wizards History
This Tuesday marks the 160th regular season matchup between the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards. Washington leads the all-time series 82-77 over Houston, but because of their recent struggles the Wizards no longer have an edge over the Rockets. Houston destroyed Washington 135-119 in their first matchup of the season, and in their last 10 games the Rockets are 7-3 versus the Wizards. Houston currently holds a 2-game winning streak over Washington, and on Tuesday the Rockets will more than likely extend their run over the woeful Wizards. Washington will play host, and while the Rockets have struggled on the road against the Wizards in the past, posting a 29-47 record (38.2%), Houston has won 3 of their last 4 away games versus Washington at home.
Rockets vs. Wizards Game Predictions
The Rockets have several key players out, but against the Wizards Houston should cruise to victory. Take the Houston Rockets to beat the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Houston’s leading scorer, Alperen Sengun, is out with a Grade 3 ankle sprain and will likely miss the remainder of the season. It’s a tough loss for the Rockets, but since Sengun went down Houston is 3-0. Houston’s Jalen Green has stepped up as the team’s best offensive weapon, averaging 25.0 points per game in his last 5, which includes a 37-point performance against the Washington Wizards last Thursday. Green and veteran point guard Fred VanVleet combined for 64-points against Washington’s porous defense, and I’m expecting Houston to embarrass the Wizards once again.
In summary, here are my picks for the Rockets vs. Wizards Tuesday night matchup:
- Moneyline Pick: Houston Rockets (-205)
If you take the Rockets Moneyline (-205): You risk $205 to win $100, for a total payout of $305, if the Rockets win straight up.
- ATS Pick: Houston Rockets (-5)
If you take the Rockets to Cover the -5.0 Spread (-110): You risk $110 to win $100, for a total payout of $210, if the Rockets win the game by at least 5 points.
- O/U Pick: Under (229.5)
If you take the Under on 229.5 total points (-110): You risk $110 to win $100, for a total payout of $210, if the Rockets and Wizards combine for less than 230 points.
