Two more encouraging nights from Jaquez (18) and Jovic (20) and an impressive Heat win at Warriors. Among out of conference opponents, this will give them road wins at Houston, Minnesota and Golden State, along with home wins against Dallas and the Lakers. – 12:13 AM

It’s only a handful of teams that have a better starting 5 than the Rockets. Between Sengun, Green and Jokic… the Future looks extremely bright for Houston. And if I’m the Rockets it’s no way I trade for Jimmy Butler. – 9:59 PM

Hello! Going to do a pseudo Post Game Theory here breaking down some previous games from Alex Sarr and Cam Whitmore, then also running through some tape on Kasparas Jakucionis, the guy I have at No. 3 on my board in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Houston’s Emanuel Sharp has now shot 50% or better from 3PT in 9 of 14 games. Deep range, contested pullups, escape dribbles/fakes to get free. Shotmaking specialist. Only Johni Broome with a higher BPM this season. pic.x.com/cyVvKNcu2j – 8:41 AM
