Rockets center/forward Jeff Green available for Rockets vs. Trail Blazers. He missed Wednesday’s game and was questionable. – 8:36 PM

James Harden hasn’t missed a game since debuting for the Clippers in November.
56 straight games. His most consecutive games played since he played the first 76 games of the 2016-17 season, when he was 27 years old.

The LA Clippers are entering a 5-in-7 and the report looks like it.
James Harden (left shoulder), Paul George (left knee), Kawhi Leonard (left groin) all questionable.
Center Ivica Zubac (illness) didn’t finish Wednesday’s game in Houston but he is not listed. – 8:18 PM

Pelicans up 55-20 on the Sixers right now in the second quarter.
According to @ESPNStatsInfo, Pelicans are just the 3rd team to go up by 35+ in 3 straight games in the last 25 years (Rockets in 2019, Magic in 2001). – 7:55 PM

Which current West top-10 team falls out of the play-in entirely next season?
Because at the very least, I think Memphis gets back in the fray.
And Houston is desperate to win. And at the very least I suspect Utah won’t sell at the 2025 deadline. And Wemby… – 4:59 PM
