Seeded fourth in the standings with a 31-18 record, the Rockets are entering the contest on the back of a loss to the Boston Celtics. On the other hand, the Hornets are coming off a 23-28 record, and will enter the matchup on the back of a seven-game winning streak.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Rockets are 3.5 point favorites with moneyline at -154 and total at 217.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Rockets are expected to dominate their homecourt. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight&rsquo;s game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: Houston Rockets -3.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-110<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Book<\/strong>: Best price at FanDuel&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our best bet for Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets is Rockets -3.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-110<\/a>) against the spread.<\/p><p>The Houston Rockets are a playoff prospect, owning a 17-5 win-loss record at home. In their last ten games, they have won seven games. In addition to it, they have the fourth-best offensive rating, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/teams\/advanced?dir=A&amp;sort=DEF_RATING\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>their defensive rating gives them the sixth spot<\/a>. The Hornets, on the other hand, are seeded 11th in the East and have a 12-15 win-loss record on road.&nbsp;<\/p><p>They are coming off eight wins in their last ten contests, and own the sixth-best offense in the league. However, their defense puts them in the 19th spot in the standings.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The spread at Rockets -3.5 seemingly underestimates Houston considering the Hornets have a weaker record as well as defense. We expect the number to be around -5 or -6, and Houston covers well in such spots.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Keeping Houston Rockets&rsquo; homecourt advantage, offensive and defensive edge in mind, we are laying the Rockets -3.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay Picks for Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>3-Leg SGP (Safer)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: Houston Rockets -5.5 (alternate spread)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 2: Kevin Durant Over 22.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 3: Alperen Sengun Over 18.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Combined odds: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+541&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>We have built this same-game parlay around the Houston Rockets to win at home. Kevin Durant leads the Rockets&rsquo; offense, and we see him taking on the responsibility once against the Hornets. Alperen Sengun is another reliable player, who has been taking the load off of Durant&rsquo;s shoulders.&nbsp;<\/p><p>These legs are correlated considering if the Rockets dominate at home, their players get chances and volume to score. Durant and Sengun would aim to take advantage of their familiarity with the court and score well to push the other side to win. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets Odds and Top Player Props&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Here are the latest Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets odds from top sportsbooks.
