Both Xiane and AK did a phenomenal job of previewing this game, so there’s not much here for me to say. Luka Doncic won’t play after spraining his ankle again in practice this week, while Houston will be without Clint Capela, who is still battling a heel issue.

Certainly that means we’re about to see Isaiah Hartenstein get the start tonight, right? Um... nope.

Regardless of Mike D’Antoni’s lineup decisions, we’ll be looking for James Harden to get back on track tonight. If he can play well alongside Russell Westbrook, the Rockets should get a win.
