The Houston Rockets opened the 2025-26 campaign with two straight losses, but have since won five games on the trot to go 5-2 for the season thus far. The streak has continued despite the limited availability of Steven Adams, who sat out the game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to tightness in his Left Hip Flexor.

The Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies are in two very different situations despite only being separated by two games in the Western Conference standings. Wh

Perhaps the Memphis Grizzlies will eventually trade Ja Morant this season. And perhaps such a deal will involve the Houston Rockets.

Kevin Durant used every trick in the book to beat the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The two-time NBA champion went after Ja Morant's dad, Tee Morant, during his team's 124-109 win over the Grizzlies.

Your son don’t wanna be here,” Kevin Durant told Tee Morant, father of Grizzlies star Ja Morant. “We know it’s your last weekend. Enjoy your time.”

Houston is first in the league in points per 100 possessions. Durant (24.0), Şengün (22.4) and Thompson (18.6) are all over 18 points per game. Şengün (7.3) and Thompson (5.7) are averaging over five assists. Sheppard is still adjusting to life in the NBA, but he's shooting 42.9 percent from deep and averaging 3.0 assists in just 20.0 minutes.

Despite a gambling scandal continuing to unfold, there’s no bigger story in the NBA at the moment than Ja Morant’s obvious displeasure with the Memphis Grizzlie

The Rockets list Steven Adams (left hip flexor tightness) and Jabari Smith Jr. (right ankle sprain) as questionable to play in Memphis. Fred VanVleet (ACL recovery), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle surgery recovery), Isaiah Crawford (G League) and Kevon Harris (G League) are out.
