Fresh off a feel-good victory and gaining a completely healthy roster for the first time all season, Houston is looking to build momentum.

For the Rockets and Kings, it’s effectively a weekend series, with a rematch looming Sunday. Both teams snapped extended losing streaks with wins on Wednesday, with Houston emerging victorious at San Antonio and Sacramento winning at home over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Kings (17-27) are currently only a half-game back of Portland for the final spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament for the playoffs, so they should have plenty to play for. Meanwhile, the Rockets (12-31) — who are still last in the West — will start the process of re-integrating prized rookie Alperen Sengun into a developing rotation.

The 19-year-old big man, who was drafted at No. 16 overall in the 2021 first round, has missed nearly two weeks with an ankle sprain.
