Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni stated he wanted to get Austin Rivers additional time on the hardwood and the wing responded with 21 points versus Memphis with 25:12 playing time.
PJ Tucker (11), Jeff Green (11) and Robert Covington (10) were the other double-figure contributors.
On the season, James Harden is the team leader in scoring (35.2), assists (7.3), steals (1.7) and blocks (0.9). PJ Tucker tops the rebounding (6.9), while Russell Westbrook tops field goal percent (46.1%).
Thabo Sefolosha and Eric Gordon both missed the game versus the Grizzlies. Sefolosha was dealing with an illness while Gordon is hampered by a right knee contusion.
Both are listed as questionable for the Saturday match in Boston.
Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum is on a terror that extends back to his return from missing three games in late January. In the 12 games since Tatum is averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks.
More frightening for his opponents is during this 12-game segment, Tatum is shooting 48.5 percent on 8.4 attempts per game.
His double-double of 33 points and 11 rebounds led the way for the Celtics in the comeback victory over the Jazz in Utah.
Jaylen Brown (20 points), Marcus Smart (17), Daniel Theis (160), and Gordon Hayward (12) helped ensure balanced scoring via their double-digit contributions.
Team leaders in key categories are Kemba Walker for assists (5.0) Gordon Hayward for field goal percent (50.6%), and Daniel Theis for blocks (1.3). Jayson Tatum leads the other three categories including scoring (22.9), rebounding (7.0) and steals (1.4).
Walker’s return date following the procedure to drain his knee and an injection to offset the swelling and pain is uncertain. The health report lists him as doubtful for Saturday.
Boston noted Robert Williams III (bone edema, hip) was practicing with the team a week ago and expected him back when the team returned from the western road trip. Consequently, his status was upgraded to questionable for Saturday.
