What to Know

This Monday, the Houston Rockets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.1 points per matchup. They are getting right back to it as they host the Golden State Warriors at 8 p.m. ET March 20 at Toyota Center. The Rockets have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Golden State and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 20 of 2020.

Houston came up short against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, falling 117-107. Power forward Jabari Smith had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only eight points on 2-for-10 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the game between the Dubs and the Memphis Grizzlies this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with the Dubs falling 133-119 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Golden State's loss came about despite a quality game from power forward Jonathan Kuminga, who had 24 points along with eight rebounds.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
