On January 11, Beijing time, the Rockets lost 91-111 to the opponent in the game against the 76ers, and after this game, the Rockets ended in three consecutive home games. After this game, the Rockets' record so far this season has dropped to 11 wins and 31 losses, and as a team in the reconstruction stage, the Rockets' only record performance is not unexpected.
In the whole game, the rocket's best player is still Christian Wood, who played 36 minutes and had 14 points and 6 rebounds, but jaylen Green can also have 14 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist on 6-of-12 shooting in 30 minutes, but he also has as many as 7 turnovers.
Kevin Porter Jr., another rising star in the Rockets, only had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 2-of-9 shooting in this game, although the 6 rebounds and 5 assists data is still quite good, but he was expelled after elbowing Charles Brown, and Porter did not have a good enough feel in scoring in recent times.
Aside from this game, Kevin Porter Jr. only shot 3-of-10 in his last game against the Timberwolves, and averaged just 35.9 percent of his 11.8 shots so far this season. In contrast, Jaylen Green was able to perform more efficiently in the game.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Rockets should indeed consider how to build a better lineup around Jaylen Green, and some time ago, after Porter and assistant coach John Lucas had a disagreement, there was already a lot of news that the Rockets should put Kevin Porter Jr. on the shelves.
So given Porter's poor efficiency performance and personal character issues so far this season, the Rockets really should make a choice before the trade deadline. If there are teams in the league that are interested in Kevin Porter Jr. and can get the Rockets back valuable assets, it doesn't seem that the Rockets should pass up the opportunity to send Kevin Porter Jr.
