The Houston Rockets continue a four-game homestand when they host the Golden State Warriors on Monday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The rebuilding Rockets are 3-4 in their last seven games, but nearly all of their progress has come on the road. They haven’t won at Toyota Center since Dec. 8, with a losing streak that is now at 10 games. The Warriors, on the other hand, enter with five straight wins and currently own the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. On paper, it’s a lopsided matchup of a contender versus one of the NBA’s worst teams.
Yet, it’s worth noting that one of those four losses in Houston’s last seven games was an extremely competitive loss at Golden State on Jan. 21, when All-Star guard Steph Curry beat the Rockets at the buzzer. Since then, Houston’s efforts have unfortunately declined in a pair of home losses by 15 or more points to San Antonio and Portland.
The good news is that the Rockets may be closer to full strength on Monday against the Warriors. Starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr., who missed Friday’s loss to Portland while in health and safety protocols, is now questionable for Monday’s game with an illness.
Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. upgraded to questionable with an illness. He missed Friday's game in health and safety protocols after missing a day with what was termed a non-Covid illness.
