The rebuilding Rockets (19-55) won Friday’s opening game of the back-to-back with ease over what is left of the injury-riddled Trail Blazers (27-46). However, Saturday will likely be more challenging, since Eric Gordon played on Friday. The veteran guard usually does not play on both ends of back-to-backs, and Houston is 0-17 without him this season.

In the opener, rookie guard Jalen Green was the big story, scoring a game-high 23 points on extremely efficient shooting in under 28 minutes. Just 20 years old, Green was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft, and he was clearly the most talented player on the floor Friday.
