The Houston Rockets get right back to action on Monday night, in the second game of a back-to-back, this time traveling to New York to take on the Knicks. Houston has the second-worst record in the NBA and should be in great shape to earn one of the top-three picks in this May's NBA Draft Lottery. The Knicks, meanwhile, are battling for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks seem destined for the fifth spot in the standings with a game-and-a-half cushion on the sinking Nets and well behind fourth-place Cleveland. The opening tap is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST.

On Sunday night, the Rockets scored just 11 points in the fourth quarter and fell to the Cavaliers 108-91. The Rockets were led by Jalen Green, who scored 30 points including 5-of-11 from 3pt range.
