The Rockets nearly beat the defending champion Thunder in their season opener, and I like their big lineup in this matchup with the Pistons. Alperen Sengun had a monster night against Oklahoma City, and can hit his PRA total without coming close to that level of production.

The Mavericks’ injury report shows Anthony Davis is out of the rotation for the upcoming game against the Houston Rockets.

Blaha and the Pistons gathered at the scorer’s table for a show of camaraderie hours before the game.

Cade Cunningham had 21 points and Duncan Robinson hit four 3s to finish with 17 points in a 115-111 win over the Rockets.
