The Houston Rockets (36-35) will attempt to extend their win streak to 10 Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-21), who are currently sitting at No. 2 in the Western Conference. The Rockets are entering the Paycom Center as the league's hottest team. In addition to their win streak, Houston has notched a league-best record of 11-1 since March 1.

The Rockets won their ninth consecutive game in a 110-92 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night. Jalen Green led the Rockets in scoring with 27 points. His production against the Trail Blazers was a sample size of his exceptional play amid Houston's ongoing push toward the Play-In Tournament.

"I'm just trying to keep the momentum going, keep being aggressive — that's really it," Green said. "Hopefully, I'm the main focus over there, loading up on defenses so once I drive it [will] be easy kickouts. Guys just guarding me full court just create a whole lane."

Houston is one game back of the Golden State Warriors for the 10th and final spot for the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. The Warriors ended a two-game losing streak during a 113-92 victory over the Miami Heat Tuesday night.
