Houston Rockets vs. Brooklyn Nets Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More
The Houston Rockets (21-23) will play in their final game of a two-game road trip on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets (17-27) inside the Barclays Center. The Rockets will be looking to build off of their win in Friday's contest.
The team was able to snap their losing streak against the Charlotte Hornets with a dominant 138-104 win. The team was propelled forward by a spectacular performance from star Jalen Green.
The third-year guard finished with a season-high 36 points. He was also the second leading rebounder in the game with 10 boards. But the leading rebounder against the Hornets was Cam Whitmore, as he finished with 11 boards, as well as scoring 24 points off the bench for the Rockets.
If Houston's young stars can continue to play like this, the team could grab some momentum and go on a win streak.
They will have the perfect opportunity to do just that in their next game against the Nets. Despite having loads of talent, the Nets have only come out on top in one of their last eight games and have lost their last three. The Rockets will be looking to extend that to four as they finish up their short road trip.
