Game Preview
The Rockets are the top rebounding team in the NBA, with 50.0 boards per game. This is probably one of the main reasons why this team has 15 wins after 21 games and is second in the West standings. They have three wins in a row, the most recent vs. OKC Thunder 119-116.
Fred Van Vleet had a season-high 38 points, while Alepren Sengun missed yet another triple-double for one assist, having 20 buckets and 14 boards. The young Turk might be in the mix for winning the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award.
The Sacramento Kings are in poor form, having just three wins in the past ten games. They are the second-best teams in controlling the glass in the league, allowing the rivals only 41.2 boards per game, but on the other side, they struggle to exploit that.
They lost to the San Antonio Spurs at home this Sunday night, 127-125. Home team had a 14-point lead at the end of the opening quarter, yet didn’t manage to post a win. DeMar DeRozan had 28 points, Domantas Sabonis 25 and 13 boards, and De’Aaron Fox 23.
Rockets vs. Kings Head to Head
