The Houston Rockets aren’t that hopeless. The Rockets have a good game on the home court. At the very least, they’re resisting. For example, they lost to the Clippers and Grizzlies by eight and seven points, respectively. The Pacers probably won’t have it easy.
The Pacers have easily scored more than 120 points in 3 of their last 4 away games. Against the Rockets, that figure probably won’t change. After all, the Rockets have a poor defensive game.
The Houston Rockets sensationally defeated the Dallas Mavericks (101-92) on the road. Two players on the winning roster had the same result. We’re talking about Jalen Green and Kevin Porter. They had 17 points each.
With the success, Houston rose from 15th place to 12th.
It was the team’s 3rd win in the regular season. Earlier, the Rockets defeated the Utah Jazz (114:108) and Orlando Magic (134:127).
The Rockets are averaging 26.3 points in the first quarter this season.
The Pistons are slowly, but surely moving up the table in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers picked up their second win in a row. After a home win over the Toronto Raptors (118-104), there followed an away win over the Charlotte Hornets (125-131).
Tyrese Haliburton had the best performance of the game. The guard recorded a double-double of 22 points, 2 rebounds and 11 assists.
For the 5th game in a row, Indiana will play without forward Chris Duarte. The Pacers’ small forward made his last appearance on the court on November 1. It was an away game against the Nets. Duarte scored 30 points in that game, but Indiana ultimately lost the game (109-116).
Duarte has an ankle injury. He picked it up after the game against the Miami Heat. Chris has already missed games against the Pelicans (129-122), Nuggets (119-122), Raptors (118-104) and Hornets (125-131). The Pacers are in sixth place in the East with seven wins and six losses.
The Pacers are averaging 26.8 points in the first quarter this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Houston Rockets: Jalen Green – Kevin Porter Jr. – Jabari Smith Jr. – Eric Gordon – Alperen Şengün.
Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton – Andrew Nembhard – Buddy Hield – Jalen Smith – Myles Turner.
