Rockets Looking To End Four-Game Slide
The Houston Rockets play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Toyota Center on Wednesday evening.

This marks the fourth and final game of a home stand for the Rockets (14-36), where they are winless so far. They have lost four in a row overall and will look to end the slide for a chance to build on their, 7-16, home record. Christian Wood leads the team, averaging 17.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Eric Gordon is averaging 14.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists, while Jalen Green is averaging 14.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The Rockets are averaging 108.3 points per game, and they are giving up a league-high average of 116.9 points against, while allowing opponents to shoot 47.5 percent from the field, which is also a league-high.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers (31-20) will look to build off a win in their last contest and add to their, 15-11, road record. Unfortunately, they continue to deal with injuries, as Darius Garland (back) and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) will be sidelined through Wednesday's action. Cedi Osman will likely pick up another start in place of Garland, after he logged seven points, two rebounds and 12 assists, in the Cavs' last game. Evan Mobley is playing well, averaging 14.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks, over the last 10 games. Jarrett Allen has also been playing well, averaging 13.5 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, over his last 10 games. The Cavs are averaging 106.8 points per game, while shooting an average of 46.6 percent from the field, and they are holding opponents to an average of 102.2 points per game.
