The Houston Rockets (27-10) are coming off of a loss two nights ago to the Golden State Warriors. They were able to hold their own for most of the game, but the lack of James Harden proved to be too much at the end.
They will travel to Detroit to play the Pistons (20-17). The Pistons are coming off of an embarrassing 36-point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers just last night.
The Rockets will need to take advantage of the drop in confidence for the Pistons that has seen them drop 3 out of their last 4 games.
