Teams Preview
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings will be aiming for playoff qualification at least with the team they have assembled this season. With players like Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan on the roster, the side is expected to be a playoff contender at least, but has struggled to find its rhythm so far in the season.
Despite having a strong offensive line up, the team averages 108.5 offensive rating, which is 29th in the league. Defensively, they are at the 28th position with a 119 defensive rating. Averaging 109.8 points per game and taking a similar position with just 39.6 rebounds per game.
The Kings rank 9th with 8.6 steals per game, but are at the 24th position with 4.2 blocks per game. With a 25 assist average and 14.2 turnovers per game, the Kings are struggling to put up high scores on the board.
Houston Rockets
Ime Udoka once again has a team capable of challenging for the title. Talented young core and championship-experienced veterans make them a strong side. In the mega trade, the Rockets maintained their young core, which is improving per game.
The team stands third in the league in scoring (120.9 points per game) and leads the league in rebounds with 49 rebounds per game. Taking fourth place in the offensive rating (121.1), the team did better in the defensive end with a 111.8 defensive rating.
The team defence played a huge role in their ascent, ranking seventh in steals (9.0 average) and sixth in blocks (5.5 average) this season. Incidentally, the team averages 25.6 assists per game, which is low in league average.
