TARRYTOWN, NY—Dennis Smith Jr. could have a big opportunity on Monday night when the Houston Rockets host the New York Knicks. With Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina questionable, Smith is in line to start, or at the very least, play major minutes.
The Houston backcourt needs no introduction. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are former MVPs who are spearheading Mike D’Antoni’s offense. Slowing down Westbrook and Harden is often the key to knocking off the Rockets.
