With recently suspended starters Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood presumably back in the lineup, Houston is hoping to snap an eight-game losing streak. But it won’t come easy against the host Wizards, who are coming off an impressive win on Monday versus Charlotte in which Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma combined for 71 points.

In their most recent loss at Philadelphia, the Rockets benefited from a very strong return by former Wizards wing Garrison Mathews, who had missed the prior four games while in the NBA’s health and safety protocols. However, it was offset by an unusually cold game by rookie Jalen Green, who shot just 25% overall and 20% on 3-pointers.

For Mathews, Wednesday’s game could be a revenge opportunity of sorts, since the 25-year-old played his first two NBA seasons there but ultimately was not re-signed after the 2020-21 campaign.
