Brandon Knight looks like he’s getting closer to a return
The guard was spotted on the court in a Rockets practice uni, which is the best we’ve seen from Knight so far this season. It’s no secret that the Houston Rockets have been dealing with injuries to their lineup this season. In fact, they have two players who were expected to contribute that have yet to play single game on the year. Veteran center Nene has been out since the offseason with a strained calf that he re-aggravated in October, and guard Brandon Knight has also been out since the offseason after undergoing a surgical procedure to clean up his knee, which then led into a knee...

For one thing, the Warriors will be without Steph Curry, who’s scheduled to be re-evaluated in ten days after suffering an adductor strain in his groin area. For another, the Warriors are dealing with their first bout of true adversity in the last four years. Draymond Green and Kevin Durant are at odds over late-game strategy or free agency decisions, or both. Durant’s free agency certainly looms large, as...

Rockets down Nuggets for second straight win
The Rockets looked good again and are primed for a Thursday showdown with Golden State. The Houston Rockets played perhaps their most well-rounded game of the year and looked the closest they have all season to last year’s squad in defeating the Denver Nuggets 109-99. Clint Capela led the way with a season-high 24 points, and he was active on both ends and extremely difficult for Nikola Jokic to handle in heading up a balanced offensive attack that saw the Rockets finish with six players in double figures, including all five starters, and also saw them shoot 55 percent from the field....

Rockets' Chris Paul shares special bond with Nuggets' coach Mike Malone
"Me and Mike Malone are really close," Paul said. "He was my assistant coach in New Orleans. I miss him, man. I've had a lot of coaches over my career and that's probably, might be, the coach I've been the closest to just because he's a basketball junkie like myself. I think back to those days in New Orleans. I would be home watching League Pass. Any game that was close we'd be texting. We'd be on the phone taking about scenarios.
