The Rockets come into this game having won five of their last ten games. They however have won three of the last four games. Their only loss was a 113-108 game to the Hawks.
The Rockets are an elite team on the offensive side of the ball. They push the ball up and down the court and shoot a ton of three pointers.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Rockets average 114.3 points per game and shoot 46.6 percent from the field.
This game is going to come down to the defensive side of the ball for the Rockets. They need to slow down Kemba Walker and their offense to be able to win this game.
The Houston Rockets come into this game with an 18-11 record on the road.
Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets finally got out of the losing column when they beat the Brooklyn Nets in their last game. They had lost their previous seven games and dropped out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
This is a huge game for many reasons for the Hornets. They need to get confidence back and this would do just that, and they need to get back in the playoff picture and a winning streak could do that for them.
Most of the problems for the Hornets in their losing streak came on the defensive side of the ball. Over their last five games they have given up 112 points on the defensive side of the ball, well only scoring 104.8.

At home this season the Hornets have a record of 16-10.
