Rockets get to the first time out up 19-16 (with Anunoby going to the line) and making 6 of 7 shots. Start very similar to in Minnesota to start the trip. The subject of defense will come up during the time out. – 7:50 PM

Jabari Smith Jr. with more rebounds in first three minutes than he had all game in Orlando. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron Went up strong with the second one, too. – 7:46 PM

Rockets open with more of the ball movement they showed in Orlando. The test will be when the Raptors change up defenses and apply pressure, as Orlando did late and the Raptors are known to do. – 7:44 PM

Raps. Rockets. I strongly feel the Rockets will lead by double digits at some point in the first half. – 7:33 PM

Not a ton of Raptors news pre-game but the tete a tete between Nick Nurse and Precious Achiuwa included no sugar coating,
“He just needs to play better, man. I’m always talking about playing hard on D and not executing. And he’s just having too much inconsistency,” Nurse said – 6:27 PM

None of Ousmane Dieng, Jaylin Williams, Eugene Omoruyi and Lindy Waters III will be active tonight after playing with the Blue this afternoon.
Daigneault said all but Omoruyi will play with the Blue again tomorrow. Sounds like Omoruyi will be available Friday vs. Toronto. – 6:26 PM

Nurse said he had a 1-on-1 meeting Wednesday w/ Precious Achiuwa, and showed him some sub-par defensive clips, says he needs to be more consistent on that end to get up to the 25-30 min range he projected for him before the season (he’s at 21 now). “He just has to play better.” – 5:59 PM

“He needs to play better.” – Nick Nurse on Precious Achiuwa. Said he envisioned a bigger role for him. Needs to see PA execute defensively better. – 5:51 PM

Just noticed O.G. Anunoby has jumped from +7,500 (1.3% chance) to win the Defensive Player of the Year in the preseason all the way to +1,500 (6.3% chance) and the fifth-best odds on @BodogCA. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/fmckHlTDim – 1:51 PM
