Kevin Durant averaged 26.6 points in December, and he finished the month with back-to-back 30-point performances. Durant has cashed the Over in three of his last six only, but he’s playing extremely well right now, and I’m leaning into the revenge game narrative tonight as the Rockets face his former team, the Brooklyn Nets. That always provides motivation for a player.

The Brooklyn Nets rank as the lowest scoring offense in the league this year.. Over the last 20 games, the opposing team's starting SGs have scored 12.6 points per game (lowest in the league) against the Rockets, resulting in a hard matchup for offensive efficiency.. The Nets have played at the 3rd-most sluggish tempo in the league over the last 10 games with the home court advantage.. The Nets will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities today from sharing the court with the least up-tempo pace-of-play away offense in the league this year (the Rockets).. The matchup against Houston may be a difficult one for getting to the foul line; opposing starting SGs have attempted a lowly 1.0 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Rockets are on the road (4th-least in the NBA).

The Rockets have been the least aggressive offense in the league this year in regard to shot attempts from beyond the arc.. The least up-tempo tempo visiting offense in the NBA this year has been the Houston Rockets.. The Rockets will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play home offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Nets).. The matchup vs. Brooklyn is a tough one for drawing fouls; the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted a measly 2.5 free throws per game this year when the Nets are on their home court (3rd-least in the NBA).

The Rockets rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).
