Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets
The Trail Blazers go into this one with a 52% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Houston Rockets. Nate McMillan will be sure to keep an eye on the Houston streak (W 1), but the key against Rockets will be containing Yao Ming, Kevin Brooks and Aaron Brooks. The Trail Blazers point differential is 0 this season (good for number 15 in the NBA), but not as good as the Houston Rockets’s average winning margin of 1.6 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Rockets will need to play to their strengths and their 24.1 assists per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 2nd best in the whole league in that area). Rick Adelman’s team is 16-16 this season and today will hope to improve their 6-11 record away from Toyota Center.
Portland have been dominating their opponents this season in the field goals attempted departement, with a 6.3 field goals attempted differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 13.2 offensive rebounds average per game is 3rd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Rick Adelman and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Trail Blazers’ 11-3 home record.The fans in the Rose Garden Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Trail Blazers vs Rockets online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 21:00 ET today.
