    They have some rest between B2Bs.

    Essentially 3 B2Bs in a row.

    Jan 15th and 16th, 19th and 20th, 25th and 26th

    Denver 2x within 3 days, and right thereafter @Utah.

    Maybe they let WB play in some.

    What are you even talking about buddy? Do you even watch the games? We are all witnesses to emerging new MEGA Superstar Hartenstein and in the future this will be looked upon as the time of the Resurrection and Revival of Houston sports!

    We're gonna need Danuel House back for this upcoming stretch,
    LAL, OKC, DEN, MIN, DEN, UTAH,
    He's been a detriment lately. Can't shoot, can't defend.. .

    Rockets - 5
    O/U 238.5

    Please take this team seriously. These youngsters can play.

    But so can we!

    Go Rockets!

    Grizzlies offense is elite lately, this will not be an easy game. Tough test for Rockets defense which has been inconsistent at best. Should be an entertaining game, hopefully it's a W!

    Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. The Rockets are...not...

    Without Westbrook on the road, it'll be really tough to get this win. We'll see what happens. Harden can't no-show like he's been doing.

    I would say harden showed signs of life vs MIN. 11 turnovers, bad . 6/11 from 3, good. He’ll be fully back in rhythm this game .

    I was eternally grateful he only had to play 27 min.

    I think the rockets look good tonight . Depends on how Capela looks/ if he plays. I’m scared of a lingering foot injury on a big. If he plays , please MDA , lower his minutes. Hartenstein CAN BE capable. It’s not the playoffs , you can spread the load around right now.

    Austin needs to show up . With WB out , tonight will be the second game in a row Austin should get 25+ min. We need him. He can be an X factor for us .

    Harden averaging 35/7/7 on 44/48/79 shooting splits in the last ten games. Pretty good for a no-show.

    I’m gonna need the Grizzlies to get slapped up tonight...whole squad leaving with extra large lips and head lumps

    Rockets win streak continues, and if a hater doesn’t like it, he can come see me...big truss

    Rockets better be ready! Young Grizz are crazy enough to think they should win.

    Both teams are 7-3 over their last 10 and Houston has the better net rating over the span.

    Even if you narrow it down to last 5 games Memphis is 5-0 and we are 4-1 with Memphis having the 3rd best net rating and Houston having the 4th best over that span.

    Hard to say one is hot and the other isn’t. They both have been pretty damn good lately.
