Who will WIN this matchup?

Houston Rockets (9-9)

@ Washington Wizards (7-12)

 

Current odds:

Houston Rockets: (+105)

Washington Wizards: (-125)

 

• The line for the game is Washington by 1.5 points.

• Harden’s uptick in scoring is coming with an uptick in turnovers, and his nine on Saturday marked the fourth straight game in which he committed at least six miscues. The reigning MVP was forced to do more ball handling with point guard Chris Paul out on Saturday, and he remains day-to-day after sitting out Sunday’s practice with a sore left leg. Paul’s absence forced sixth man Eric Gordon into the starting lineup on Saturday and robbed the reserve unit of its most potent scorer.

• Washington guard Austin Rivers matched a season high with 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting in 27 minutes off the bench Saturday. “One thing I’ve learned, one thing I’ve got down now, is you can’t defer when you’re on the court with John (Wall) or Brad (Beal),” Rivers told reporters. “If anything, you have to be more aggressive, and they actually like that, too, because it makes it easier for them because you attack, and they get easy shots.” Wall and Beal each handed out eight assists in the 124-114 triumph while combining for 40 points on 15-of-31 shooting.
