With Sunday’s home game versus the Bucks, Houston begins a season-long homestand of seven games. Entering this stretch, the Rockets (7-18) are a respectable 4-5 at home and a woeful 3-13 on the road, punctuated by Thursday’s awful showing at San Antonio.

With that in mind, Sunday’s show explores reasons for that home-road discrepancy and much more. Topics include:

— The potential role of Jalen Green’s staggering home-road shooting splits;

— Whether Kevin Porter Jr.’s inconsistent point guard play, and the lack of a proven backup, is a key factor;

— Recent improvements by rookie forward Jabari Smith Jr.;

— Ongoing evaluations of general manager Rafael Stone and head coach Stephen Silas;

— Playing time decisions for young guards Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington, and whether the NBA G League is an appropriate destination for both players.
