The good news for the Houston Rockets is that their long road trip is finally over, and they are poised to have starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr. back in the lineup. The bad news, as they look to snap a 15-game losing streak, is that the team’s opponent will get even tougher.
After a pair of losses in recent days to Boston (10-8) and New York (10-8), who are currently in the back half of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, Wednesday’s opener of a three-game homestand features a visit from Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and the resurgent Chicago Bulls (12-6) — who are tied for second in the East.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Wednesday, Nov. 24
- Time: 7:00 p.m. Central
- TV Channel: AT&T SportsNet Southwest, NBA League Pass
- Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free in Houston markets)
Probable starting lineups
Houston Rockets (1-16)
- Guard: Kevin Porter Jr.
- Guard: Jalen Green
- Forward: Jae’Sean Tate
- Forward: Christian Wood
- Center: Daniel Theis
Chicago Bulls (12-6)
- Guard: Lonzo Ball
- Guard: Coby White
- Forward: Zach LaVine
- Forward: DeMar DeRozan
- Center: Tony Bradley
As for the injury report, the Bulls are listing Patrick Williams as officially out due to a left wrist ligament tear. Nikola Vucevic (return to competition reconditioning) and Alex Caruso (left wrist contusion) are questionable, while Javonte Green (left ankle sprain) is probable.
Porter is listed as “questionable” by the Rockets, but he said at Tuesday’s practice that he will play. Otherwise, Houston’s report is clean.
