For the Houston Rockets<\/a> to get back in the win column, they’re going to have to be up to the unenviable task of guarding the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>‘s twin towers, Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren. They may not be very high-volume scorers on offense, but they still score the ball with great efficiency and have above-average playmaking feel for their size.<\/p>\n

That means Rockets center Alperen Sengun is going to need to fare a whole lot better on the less glamorous side of the floor than he has of late. If he doesn’t look noticeably more locked in on that end, expect Oklahoma City to win handily.<\/p>\n

Records, standing, and streaks\"Jan<\/p>\n

At present, the Rockets have a 31-19 record and two-game losing streak, which puts them in the Western Conference standings’ fourth-place slot.<\/p>\n

The Thunder are the owners of a 40-12 record, good enough for tops in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
