    Bounce back game for Jalen Green, he's been struggling... But like Dusty says, water seeks its own level... Therefor, I am once more asking Jalen Green to lead the Rockets offense and get us the W.... The Rockets go as far as Jalen takes them, when Green is rolling so is the team...

    Keys:

    1. Have zone buster options in the pocket as Will Hardy might pull Zone out and do so at high frequency. Some games this season, he's used it as their primary defense; 45-60% of their total possessions. Which is insane, since MIA used to be the leader at 10-15% at most.

    2. They've figured out their center lineup: John Collins (more off, less def). Walker Kessler preventing other team's bench line up from scoring. Hardy stopped putting both at same lineup.

    3. Wildcard watch: Kris Dunn

    Actually our bench prevents itself from scoring.

    At home against the Jazz who are just above us in the standings. Probably the most important game of the year.

    I believe that both the Lakers and the Warriors will make the play-in.
    IMO 2 of these 4 teams will be left out: Rockets, Jazz, Pelicans and the Kings. I was really happy when Pacers beat the Kings in Sacramento yesterday.
    We have a fairly difficult schedule - My guess is that we make the Play-In 45%
    But all aside, nobody should worry about tomorrows game. At home we should not have any concern against Utah

    I personally don't see Pelicans or Kings falling out. And we can count on a massive free throw disparity helping make sure the Lakers get in. I think Warriors may not make it, but that still leaves another team so it's gotta be Utah IMO.

    And re: the bolded - famous last words lol.
