Coming off a loss that included another Alperen Sengun triple double, the Houston Rockets must now turn their attention to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs started 8-1, and Rockets fans everywhere braced for the inevitable “Evan Mobley is way better than Jalen Green” talk that permeated the first half of last season. However, the Cavs are 21-19 since that blistering start. Mobley’s still having a great year, by the way. And the “comparing two players drafted back-to-back” thing is such a dumb move.
Anyway, the Rockets are still without Jabari Smith Jr. For Cleveland, Donovan is questionable with a groin injury.
