Jalen Green has been on a tear lately, showcasing his scoring prowess and leadership on the floor.

Strategic Implications for Both Teams


The Rockets will likely lean heavily on Green's scoring ability and Alperen Sengun's dominance in the paint to secure a win. Sengun's recent performance against Charlotte Hornets saw him rack up 25 points along with 18 rebounds and five assists, demonstrating his value as a versatile center who can impact every facet of the game.


For San Antonio Spurs, maintaining defensive integrity against Houston's dynamic offense will be crucial. Players like Zach Collins and Chris Paul will need to orchestrate both ends of the floor effectively to counteract Rockets' high-scoring threats. Collins' ability to contribute across various statistical categories could prove vital in limiting Houston's second-chance opportunities.
