Sacramento Kings vs. Houston Rockets live stream (Start time): Watch NBA 2015 basketball online (Game preview)
The Houston Rockets are having a shaky start this 2015–16 National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season, but they seem to have found their rhythm as of late and hope it continues today, Saturday, when they host the Sacramento Kings.
Houston will be going to Saturday's matchup bringing back-to-back wins over the New Orleans Pelicans (108–101) and the Dallas Mavericks (100–96).
In their road win over the Mavericks last Friday, All-Star guard James Harden again led the team with 25 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, one steal, and two blocks.
Helping Harden were forwards Trevor Ariza and Terrence Jones who scored 18 and 17 points respectively, as they also combined for 15 boards.
Harden's backcourt partner, point guard Patrick Beverley, also played well, contributing 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals.
Early in the season, the Rockets always found themselves in the bottom half of the Western Conference standings, but the victory over the Mavs improved their record to 9–11, placing them eighth in the West.
Meanwhile, the Kings are still searching for their groove this season and are coming off a loss against the Boston Celtics Thursday, 114–97, with the game held in Mexico City.
Forward Rudy Gay led the Kings in the defeat having 18 points, seven rebounds, and one steal in 31 minutes of action.
Franchise star big man DeMarcus Cousins followed Gay with 16 points, seven rebounds, four dimes, and one rejection.
Reserve playmaker Darren Collison provided the spark off the bench, tallying 12 points, one rebound, five assists, and one block.
During the game, Kings starting point guard Rajon Rondo was ejected for staring down at an official and that ended his night as he had five points, three rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.
Sacramento dropped to 7–13 following the loss and is now on the 13th spot in the West, with its record identical with the 12th placed Denver Nuggets.
