Rockets Host Slumping Warriors
The Houston Rockets play host to the Golden State Warriors at Toyota Center on Monday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Rockets (18-53), after they fell short at home against the Pelicans on Sunday. They fell behind early in the game and were not able to gain their footing, as they saw their three-game win streak come to an end. Jalen Green went off with 40 points on 11-of-22 shooting, while Kevin Porter totaled 25 points, five rebounds and four assists. The Rockets will look to bounce back as they face the sixth and final game of a home stand, with a chance to improve on their, 12-25, home record.

Meanwhile, the Warriors (36-36) have dropped three in a row and hope to get back on track on the fourth game of a five-game road trip with a chance to improve on their, 7-29, road record. Stephen Curry continues to lead the team, averaging 29.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. Klay Thompson averages 21.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists, while Jordan Poole is averaging 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists. The Warriors average 118.3 points per game, which is second most in the league, but they give up an average of 118.1 points per game. Andre Iguodala (wrist) and Andrew Wiggins (personal) will remain out.
