The Houston Rockets will head to the Capital One Arena to take on the Washington Wizards in the NBA on Tuesday night. The hosts are 11-57 and bottom of the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 32-35 and 11th in the Western Conference.
The Houston Rockets have been on an excellent run, winning seven of their last eight games and gunning for a sixth consecutive victory following their dominant 117-103 triumph over the Cavaliers at home on Saturday. Jalen Green spearheaded the team with an impressive performance, tallying 26 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists, while Jabari Smith Jr. contributed 20 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. Despite ranking 20th in the NBA's scoring charts with an average of 113.2 points per game, the Rockets face the Wizards, who allow the highest points per game (124) in the league. Notably, Houston has exhibited stronger offensive performances in home games compared to their away fixtures this season, averaging 115.7 points at home versus 110.7 on the road. Defensively, the Rockets stand 10th in scoring defense, conceding an average of 112.5 points per game. However, they will be without the services of Steven Adams, Alperen Sengun, Tari Eason, and Cam Whitmore for this matchup.
The Washington Wizards have been struggling significantly, losing 20 of their last 22 games overall. They are now hoping to halt a four-game losing streak following their 130-104 defeat against the Celtics on Sunday. Jordan Poole led the team with 31 points in just 23 minutes of action, while Justin Champagnie contributed 14 points and eight rebounds. The Wizards are the NBA's 16th-ranked offense with an average of 113.8 points per game, while the Rockets are the tenth-ranked defense allowing 112.5 points per game. Washington averages 113.3 points per game at home and 114.3 on the road, yet defensively, they have struggled immensely, conceding an average of 124 points per game, the worst record in the NBA this season. Adding to their challenges, Tyus Jones, Marvin Bagley III, Landry Shamet, Isaiah Livers, and Deni Avdija are all sidelined due to injury.
