The Houston Rockets visit the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night in a game that can be seen on TNT. The Rockets have been a nice surprise this season, as they sit in second place in the Western Conference, while the Kings have turned the corner, having won seven straight games before Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee. This is a really bad spot for Houston in terms of scheduling, as the Rockets will be playing their third game in four nights and with no rest, as they were in Denver on Wednesday night. It is a much better spot for Sacramento, as they were in Milwaukee on Tuesday night and then had Wednesday off. Let’s look at our Rockets vs. Kings Same Game Parlay picks.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the Kings. They are a much different team now than they were a month ago. They went into Tuesday’s game at Milwaukee with a record of 7-1 under interim head coach Doug Christie who is looking like serious candidate to keep the job. People were shocked when head coach Mike Brown was fired, but it is obvious that the players have responded to Christie. Malik Monk has definitely benefited from the change, as he is averaging 22.3 points four rebounds and 7.3 assists since the coaching change.
“Just allowing them to play to their strengths,” Christie said to the media, “I think sometimes we get into actions that aren’t really actions. Just get to the business; there’s no need to do a lot of other stuff on top of the fact that we want to drive, kick, swing and move the basketball. So it gives us more time to do that, allowing them to just kind of use their special talents.”
The Kings have a huge scheduling advantage on Thursday night, as Houston is in one of the worst spots imaginable, as they are playing their third game in four days and with no rest. And what makes it worse is that they are even more worn out, as they had to play in the altitude of Denver on Wednesday. The Kings have been on a great roll lately, and I’ll take them to get another win on Thursday night. Since both teams don’t play much defense, I’ll also take the game to go over the total.
