After Monday’s win over Minnesota, the brutal and NBA-worst losing streak for the Rockets is history. Now, as middling Washington heads to Houston two nights later, the home team suddenly finds itself with a realistic chance to launch a winning streak.
For surging Jalen Green and the rest of the Rockets, it’s the midpoint of a three-game homestand at Toyota Center, with the finale looming Thursday versus Cleveland. For Bradley Beal and the Wizards, it’s the second night of a Texas back-to-back after winning at Dallas on Tuesday.
