The Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons both have just one win on the year. The Rockets have shown flashes of talent with Christian Wood, Kevin Porter Jr, and top pick Jalen Green. Enduring seven road games out of their first 10 would be tough for any team. Expect being at home to pay dividends against the lowly Pistons.
Assuming they both play, and I have no reason to think they won't, it's the first matchup in the NBA of the top two draft picks this year in No. 1 Cade Cunningham of Detroit and No. 2 Jalen Green of Houston -- Green has been much better so far. I'm simply taking the Rockets being at home in a matchup of horrible clubs (it's on ESPN because of the rookies). The Pistons haven't come close to an away win yet.
