Rockets Digest

Rockets vs Warriors preview: Steph Curry's 8-game win streak walks into Houston, where Alperen Sengun is the only healthy center left for the Rockets.

Both teams are 8-3 in the West. Golden State lost its first 3 games and hasn't lost since, with Curry scoring at least 20 points in all 9 games he's played and the Warriors putting up 120.4 points a game. Houston is 5-1 at home and has one of the best defenses in the NBA. Kevin Durant is 8-4 against his old team in the regular season. Liam Schlabach breaks down the latest Houston Rockets news and rumors.

Steven Adams (calf strain) and Clint Capela (ankle sprain) are out for Houston, which leaves Sengun as the last healthy center. For Golden State, Jimmy Butler (ACL), Moses Moody (knee), Gary Payton II (knee inflammation), Brandon Williams (hamstring) and Kristaps Porzingis are out, and Will Richard is probable with a thumb injury.

The keys to the game: the 3-point gap, Sengun with no backup, and Durant's bounce back. We also cover the 2025 first-round Game 7 that Golden State won 103-89 in Houston, last season's 3 meetings decided by 7 points combined, the Draymond Green trade report, and our pick for Rockets vs Warriors.

Alperen Sengun took over the 4th quarter as the Houston Rockets beat Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 110-100 to snap a 2-game losing streak.

Murray scored 38 and Denver erased a 19-point Rockets lead with an 18-2 run in the 3rd quarter, then cut it to 4 with 6:49 left. Sengun answered with 9 points and 5 assists in the 4th, scoring or setting up 23 of Houston's 33 points, and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists against Jokic. Kevin Durant added 23 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists and went 10 of 10 from the free throw line, and Tari Eason had a game-high plus 18 off the bench. Liam Schlabach breaks down the latest Houston Rockets news and rumors

The Rockets played without Steven Adams and Clint Capela, with no backup centre behind Sengun, and still won the rebounding battle 50-39. ESPN's injury report has Adams and Capela out until at least Nov 15, though nothing is confirmed yet. Houston's 8-3 start puts them in the Western Conference mix, and the Golden State Warriors come to Houston on Wednesday.

Sengun is averaging 22.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists, Devin Booker is averaging 25.4 points a game, and Kevin Durant is averaging 20.8 points on 12.4 shot attempts a game.

Could the Houston Rockets trade for Kyrie Irving? Here's the package Dallas would want, and the Rockets players Houston should never give up.

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points on 12 of 19 shooting, with 9 assists, when Dallas beat the Rockets 116-111 one week ago. Dallas is 4-4 and Houston is 7-2, and the Mavericks are reportedly turning down every call about Kyrie. He makes $39.5 million this season, has a $42.4 million player option for next season and a 15% trade bonus, and Houston's $204 million payroll is hard capped at the second apron. He is 34, coming off a torn ACL that cost him the entire 2025 to 2026 season, and he sat out Monday against the Kings with knee soreness. Liam Schlabach breaks down all of the latest Houston Rockets news and Rumors.

Fred VanVleet, Steven Adams and the Phoenix 2027 first round pick are the floor of any offer, and Reed Sheppard is the piece that could make it close. Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun are the three names Houston should never trade. We also cover the Kevin Durant reunion, the Brooklyn Nets history, Cooper Flagg in Dallas and the Heat monitoring Kyrie too.
