Gliding into Houston on a two-game win streak, the Portland Trail Blazers will look to add another against the Rockets. After a year where they lost just 17 games all season, the Rockets have already lost 14 of their first 25. The problems range from depth, to defensive ability, to a guy named Carmelo Anthony.

Of course, the Rockets’ superstar guard tandem in James Harden and Chris Paul is always a lethal threat.
This year, Harden has picked up right where he left off numbers-wise, averaging 30 points, 8.
