The last tip of today is the dispute between Rockets and Jazz. Harden & co. return home after winning the last two Knicks and Hawks trips, rebounding slightly in the rankings – 2nd in the West. Jazz came after three consecutive wins before being defeated in front of Raptors fans, score 100-109. The good part in this defeat is that the rookie Donovan Mitchell again had an excellent night, finishing the game with 25 points, after having scored 28 in the previous match (with Blazers). It will be interesting to watch what the kid can do in this journey, and if Rudy Gobert will rise to the level of expectations.
Houston does not have the same score with Warriors at the moment. It seems like the only team that can pose problems, of course – when Chris Paul will return to the field. It looks like CP3 will come back sometime later this month. Until then, Rockets has to do without him and for now he is doing well, managing a lot of 3-line throws. Besides Harden, other players like Eric Gordon or Luc Mbah of Moute have come to the ramp. Rockets won the home match but lost the next two games in front of fans and it is time to match this score. Chapel and Nene will annihilate Gobert, and on the offensive side the “missiles” will redirect the 3-point line again.
