A little over two weeks ago, the Houston Rockets had five road wins and nine games below .500. Since then, the Rockets have gone 7-1, winning four straight road games. A win tonight would double Houston’s road win total through 16 days.
Of course, the Rockets just played the Wizards of Washington five days ago. In this game, every Rockets starter scored in double figures and shot 60 percent or better from the field. They were led by Jalen Green’s 37 points, which helped him advance to Western Conference Player of the Week.
Jalen’s speech heats up, and the summary is this: He’s playing for an extension, and a strong performance down the stretch could guarantee he’s committed to the Rockets for multiple years beyond 2024-25 .
The Wizards have several players on their injury report. Either some of them will make it out in time to find out, or the Rockets will face a full G-League team.
