Houston Rockets Betting Odds

The Rockets are giving a front office clinic in what not to do—turning a feared title contender into a laughing stock in the blink of an eye.

Houston was in the postseason 8 straight years from 2012-13 to 2019-20. While the Rockets never made it out of the Western Conference side of the bracket, the team enjoyed multiple 50-win seasons and even a 65-win 2017-18 season.

Superstar guard James Harden won an MVP and 3 scoring titles during this time, solidifying his name among the league's elite.

In 2017-18, Houston took juggernaut Golden State to 7 games in the Western Conference Finals. This would turn out to be the closest Houston came to a championship since their back-to-back titles in 93-94 and 94-95.

Now, Houston has lost their firepower and is fresh off a last-place finish in the Western Conference (17-55).

Houston Rockets Odds to Win NBA Finals

No one in Vegas believes in the Rockets this season. There are 5 teams at the bottom of the NBA Finals odds list all tied at (+25000): Oklahoma City, Cleveland, Detroit, Orlando, and Houston.

Pundits believe the Rockets' main concern in 2021-22 will be keeping themselves out of last place—not contending for first.

Betting Houston Rockets Futures

Team Futures

A roster lacking talent and a front office lacking stability are the two main ingredients in this terrible Rockets smoothie we are being forced to swallow.

Houston is given (+11000) odds to win the Western Conference title this year—only the Thunder are receiving longer odds (+12000).

Houston plays in the Western Conference's Southwest division and is predicted to finish last. At (+10000), Houston will need every single bounce to go their way if they are to upset the favored Dallas Mavericks (-210) and run the Southwest.

Individual Futures

The Rockets picked up G League guard Jalen Green with the 2nd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Green is a talented young player with a drive to compete and improve his game.

Oddsmakers are giving Green and #1 overall Pistons' pick Cade Cunningham equal odds of winning the Rookie of the Year award at (+240).
