Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets take on rookie Scoot Henderson and the Portland Trail Blazers today. Watch live free on Fubo.
The Houston Rockets (39-41) run to make the Play-In Tournament came up just short with the team missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season. They have the opportunity in the final two games of the regular season, starting with the Portland Trail Blazers (21-59), to finish .500 this season showing flashes of being a playoff contender in the near future. After the All-Star Break Houston won 11 straight games and 13 of 14 games overall to put the scare in teams ahead of them in the standings. That run by Houston helped motivate both the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors to step up and play their best basketball of the season down the stretch.

One of the variables in Houston’s terrific play after the All-Star Break was Jalen Green, who is averaging 23.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game on 36.5% shooting from three in 26 games.
Green along with the rest of the Houston young core of rookie Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Cam Whitmore have played great down the stretch of the season with budding star Alperen Sengun out with injury.
For Portland, it has lost three straight games and 13 of 15 heading into today. Deandre Ayton has been one of the lone bright spots averaging 24.7 points and 12.4 rebounds per game in his seven games with six double-doubles. Ayton has helped give the Portland offense some identity after spending this season as a bottom three offense.
