Rockets Look To End Three-Game Slide
The Houston Rockets play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Toyota Center on Monday evening.

The Rockets (26-15) are 5-5 in their last 10 games and have lost three in a row, including a nine-point home loss against the Lakers in their most recent contest. This marks the Rockets' third game of a four-game home stand, as they look to get their first win of the home stand and build on their 14-6 home record. The Rockets average 118.6 points per game, which is second most in the league. They average league highs in three-pointers attempted and made, as they shoot an average of 15.4-of-44.1 from long range. James Harden is still averaging ridiculous numbers, with 33.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, over the last 10 games. Clint Capela is averaging 13.6 points and 15.8 rebounds over the last five games. Russell Westbrook has been on a tear lately, as he has scored at least 30 points in each of the last four games.

Meanwhile, the Thunder (24-19) have won six of their last 10 games, including an impressive 13-point home win over the Trail Blazers in their most recent contest. This marks the first game of a two-game road trip for the Thunder, who have won two in a row on the road and have a 10-10 road record. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to impress, as he leads the Thunder, while averaging 20.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game, over the last 10 games. Danilo Gallinari (rest) did not play in the Thunder's most recent contest, but he should be back in action on Monday. Gallinari is averaging 25.4 points on 54 percent shooting, over his last five games and gives the Thunder an excellent scoring punch. Chris Paul continues to provide solid play, averaging 17.3 points, 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals, over the last 10 games.
