Coming off a feel-good win to snap their 15-game losing streak, the Houston Rockets will look to start their first winning streak of the 2021-22 NBA season when LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets visit Toyota Center on Saturday. It’s the second game of a three-game homestand.
The Hornets are the better team on paper, but they will be on the second game of a back-to-back in two cities. Meanwhile, the Rockets haven’t played since Wednesday’s victory over Chicago. If tired legs are a factor, perhaps that is the path for Houston to have a chance.
