Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers 12/26/2020 Betting Odds Houston Rockets BettingThe Houston Rockets had their first game of the season canceled due to COVID-19 related issues. Coming to this game against the Portland Trail Blazers, they will be without John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Gordon. Ben McLemore and rookie Kenyon Martin Jr who both tested positive are also out. All players are key to the Rockets’ rotation but will have their best scorer James Harden and newly-acquired Christian Wood in the roster. This should be a good time to try out other players like Bruno Caboclo, Chis Clemons and another rookie Jae’Sean Tate to get some playing time and feel the NBA style of play added to their experience.

Portland Trail Blazers BettingThe Portland Trail Blazers were off-tuned to start the season as they lost their opener against the Utah Jazz by a wide margin of 20 points. Damian Lillard only shot 4-of-12 from the field and finished with only 9 points and seven assists. It was C.J. McCollum leading the team with 23 points along with four rebounds, three assists and three triples. Carmelo Anthony came off the bench with 15 points to help out in the scoring load while Enes Kanter got more minutes than starter Jusuf Nurkic. Not the way the Blazers wanted to start their season and expect Nurkic and Lillard to come out strong against the depleted Houston Rockets. Players to Watch: C.
