The Houston Rockets have lost three tough games in a row during their first west coast road trip of the season. Even during the losses, players like Alperen Sengun and Fred VanVleet have continued their excellent play, becoming the Rockets’ two best players this season.
On the other hand, Jalen Green has had an up-and-down season to this point. During last night's loss to the Golden State Warriors, Green was benched for the fourth quarter as Aaron Holiday closed the game and would finish with more minutes than Green. This goes in line with what Ime Udoka said before the season started about how everyone is fighting for minutes.
