He's still out. The Rockets are a strong -8.5 favorite at home tonight. 6:30 PM on Prime
But Alperen Sengun will be a game time decision. He has the flu. Clint Capela could start.
Jabari Smith Jr. also has a sprained ankle and is a game time decision. Thin front court?

Could you have suggested a worse chain to order from?

Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun are both available and will start tonight.
Jabari Smith Jr. is testing his sprained ankle pregame to see if he can go tonight.
It's looking good for the Houston Rockets tonight one hour before tip-off time.

Rockets are playing like the same inconsistent team they've been all season long.

Coach Ime Udoka should start Reed Sheppard at point guard. That kid is the real deal.
Oh well. I got a pizza to cheer me up and Peyton Stearns plays in a couple hours (WTA).

The Rockets do frustrate me though. They should be spanking the Warriors. It's 44-35 Warriors with 4:54 left until halftime.

51-47 Warriors at halftime. Rockets battled back when Reed Sheppard came into the game.
And Alperen Sengun was giving Draymond Green the business. Easy buckets vs. the old man.
Hakeem Olajuwon is sitting court side cheering on Alperen Sengun. Rockets can win this game!

Reed Sheppard has the hot hand. OMG! Keep giving him the ball. He's automatic right now.

REED SHEPPARD SO FAR 😛

🚀 27 PTS
🚀 11-15 FG

It's getting to the point I'm feeling upset when Reed Sheppard isn't playing heavy minutes and attempting 20+ shots.
Should be shooting 10+ threes a game also. Just let the ball fly. The ball coming out of his hands is like poetry in motion.

101-101 with 20 seconds left. I'm going to cry if the Warriors win this game.
They have to be the luckiest team ever these past two minutes. My goodness.
Every three they have thrown up has gone in. Rockets have played good defense.

The final 20 seconds took about 7 minutes of real time. Rockets had a successful challenge.
A Kevin Durant foul was overturned. And then they had a jump ball at mid court. Overtime.

Brandon Ingram is so ass lmao

I see why this guy gets tossed around the league. Weak as fuuuuuck

Unbelievable. Kevin Durant missed two huge free throws down the stretch in Overtime.
Warriors lead 115-113 with 4.2 seconds left in Overtime. Warriors ball. I'm crying already.
