Houston Rockets vs Washington Wizards, NBA 2024-25 Season, Today Match Prediction

Teams Preview

Houston Rockets Preview

After a slow start to their 2024-25 season where they lost their first game to the Charlotte Hornets at home the Houston Rockets have been on a path of inconsistency since then as they are currently ninth in the West while showing off a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. Despite their losing start the Rockets then recovered well during their second game as they hosted the Memphis Grizzlies and defeated them by a score of 128-108. 

This victory was a sign of better things to come but in their very inconsistent manner that they have shown this season the Rockets lost their very next game to their state rivals in the San Antonio Spurs by a margin of three points. Although they did lose their fixture against the Spurs the Rockets got their chance at redemption in their very next game as they beat the San Antonio side by a score of 106-101.

This win then kicked off a winning tradition for the Rockets who beat another Texas side in the Dallas Mavericks in their next game and left them with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. The inconsistency though soon prevailed as they lost their next game to the Golden State Warriors in a closely contested match where they lost in overtime.

While they do have a record which is commendable the unpredictability of this side was shown in their next three fixtures as while they went on a two-game winning run against the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs the Rockets couldn’t achieve their first three game win streak this season as they were defeated by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Washington Wizards Preview

While the Washington Wizards have not played the same number of games as the Houston Rockets as they are currently only 7 games into the season the Wizards have been on a three-game losing streak and will be hopeful of breaking this trend when they travel to the West this week. 

Having started their season with tough fixtures against the likes of the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers the Wizards were no match for the two current leaders in the Eastern Conference as they lost their game against the Massachusetts side by 20-points while they lost to the Cavaliers by 19. This back-to-back loss was then followed up by reoccurring wins against the Atlanta Hawks whom they played at home and away in a space of 2 days.

Winning their first fixture by a 121-119 score in Georgia the Wizards then hosted the Hawks at the capital and defeated them by a 13-point margin. This home victory was supposed to kick off a winning streak for the Wizards but in their very next game against the Heat which was an NBA Mexico City Game the Washington side lost by a score of 118-98 which left them with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

Traveling back to the Capital One Arena for their next fixture against the high-flying Golden State Warriors side the Wizards were hopeful of getting a positive result since their last game at home was a convincing victory but the Western outfit trumped them with a great offensive display as they were dispatched by a score of 125-112. 

After a disappointing run of games, the Wizards then traveled to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies but their hopes of winning this fixture were dashed in a horrendous manner as they lost by a score of 128-104.
