The Houston Rockets have won five straight games and in doing so have evened their record to 5-5 this season. Oklahoma City has won just 8 of 18 games this season.

Houston is coming off a 126-112 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Christian Wood had 27 points and nine rebounds while John Wall chipped in 19 points and nine assists for the Rockets. The Rockets have become a defensive-minded team without Harden. Oklahoma City had a two-game winning streak snapped with a 147-125 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points and five assists in the loss. OKC has struggled on the offensive end and has not been much better on the defensive end either.

The Thunder come in having dropped four of their last six games. Oklahoma City has really struggled at home, winning just one of its first seven games. The Rockets have cranked up the effort on the defensive end and still have some weapons on the offensive end.

Play on Houston,
