The Rockets are coming off a convincing 130-113 victory over the Indiana Pacers, while the Trail Blazers fell 109-99 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their most recent outing.

For those eyeing player props, Fred VanVleet's performance in terms of points, rebounds, and assists is generating significant interest. The market for VanVleet's combined stats opened at over 27.5 (-125) and has since moved to 28.5 (-115), suggesting sharp bettors are leaning towards the over.

With Houston's recent form and home-court advantage, they appear poised to extend their winning streak. However, Portland will be eager to defy the odds and snap their road losing skid. This game promises to be an intriguing clash of momentum and resilience.
