Washington Wizards will host the Houston Rockets on 15 November 2026 in the NBA, with the model favouring Houston at 79% versus 21% for Washington, a reflection of Houston's 10-3 record, 116.2 points per game and 107.4 allowed, and their fourth place league position, compared with Washington's 4-9 record, 110.0 points per game and 115.8 allowed from 13 games. Washington's 2-3 home record, 114.0 points and 114.2 allowed, and a five-game losing streak at home, contrast with Houston's 3-2 road record, 115.4 points and 108.4 allowed, and a five-game record of three wins and two losses. In the last five games Washington has lost to Detroit, Indiana and Detroit again, while Houston has beaten Utah, Golden State and Denver all at home. Their head-to-head history shows Houston winning nine of ten meetings, most recently 123-118 on 2 March 2026. The Pythia model projects a 107-118 score, 225.3 total points, a 9.5-point spread with a 46% chance of the Wizards covering, and a 53% chance of the over on the 223.5 total line, with a 5% probability of overtime.
Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.
