Houston vs Portland: prediction for the NBA match

One week ago Houston surprised everyone once again. Back then, Rockets recorded back-to-back victories. They managed to beat Sacramento (118:112) and Utah (116:111). Sometimes team from Texas performs well, but it never lasts long. Rockets are way too inconsistent. 

In the next season we will probably see a different Houston. Team's board is looking to improve the squad. Even now Rockets are looking decent, so they have a room for the improvement. 

Portland deserved everyone's respect. Trail Blazers are playing without Damian Lillard now. Leader of the Blazers is down with an injury. But despite his absence, Oregon team is looking great and even has a chance to advance into the play-in. They are currently 10th in the Western Conference. 

Aside from Lillard, previous match was also missed by Robert Covington and Nasir Little. Without these players Trail Blazers suffered a defeat to Dallas (112:132).
