Houston Rockets vs. Washington Wizards Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More
In this story:
The Houston Rockets (32-35) will play one game on the road before coming back home against the Washington Wizards (11-57) on Tuesday in Capital One Arena. The Rockets will be looking to capitalize off of two straight double-digit wins.
In their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Rockets were able to get the win 117-103. Despite the team being without their best player in Alperen Sengun, the Rockets has had some solid performances from the rest of its players.
Jalen Green was the game's leading scorer and finished with 26 points shooting 9-20 from the field and 4-9 from three. He also was able to tally up 11 rebounds and two blocks. If Green can step up in the absence of Sengun, then more and more people will start to take notice of the young guard's talents.
Houston will be looking for its sixth straight win in its next game against the Wizards. They have lost their last four games, one of them being to the Rockets. While it is true that you shouldn't underestimate any team in the league, this could be the perfect opportunity for the Rockets to get something going.
Rockets will attempt to win their sixth consecutive game Tuesday night against the Wizards.
