Houston didn’t get off to a good start to the new season. So far, the Rockets have won just one victory over Oklahoma (124-91). This is not surprising, since after the departure of James Harden everything that had been built for many years fell apart. All the rockets’ hopes were connected with John Wall, but he did not play. This player suffered from injuries. Now he also does not appear on the parquet. In the last two matches, Houston were defeated by Boston (97-107) and Dallas (106-116). Christian Wood and Kevin Porter failed to bring victory to their team.
Detroit has no victories in the new season. In the first two matches, the Pistons lost to Chicago (88-94 and 82-97). In the last game, the pistons again suffered a fiasco. This time they failed to oppose anything to Atlanta (104-122). Added to all of Detroit’s problems was the absence of Jeremy Grant. The Pistons leader has a problem with his left arm. Because of this, he missed the fight against the Hawks. He was replaced by Callie Oliyik. The Canadian did well, as in 29 minutes on the floor he scored 21 points and performed six rebounds. It is likely that Grant will not play in this meeting, so Oliyik can again start at the start.
