HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets will return to the Toyota Center for a New Year's Eve showdown against the New York Knicks Saturday night. The Rockets will attempt to end a five-game home losing streak after a 112-106 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 23.

Kevin Porter Jr. has been in a zone over the previous three games. He has averaged 25.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting from the field and 48.0 percent from behind the arc. In addition to his scoring, Porter has averaged 9.0 assists and 2.0 turnovers.

"He has really done a great job of making plays," coach Stephen Silas said. "We are doing a better job of spacing the floor for him. But he is just taking what the defense is giving him. 

"The more he plays the point guard position, the better he is going to get. I am proud of him."
