On February 27, Beijing time, tomorrow morning, the Rockets returned home to meet the Clippers, in fact, the two teams had a game before All-Star Weekend, in which the Rockets lost away from home and lost more than 30 points, making Silas very faceless. In this battle, the Rockets and the Clippers will switch sides and fight again, will Hugh City have a chance to win? It can only be said that this possibility is relatively small. The Clippers, who had just beaten the Lakers in the Los Angeles derby, were in good shape, and although Ka Jr. and Paul George still couldn't play due to injury, the Clippers' role players were doing well.
The Rockets are difficult to say, the next game against the Clippers, the Rockets' starting lineup may be adjusted, because Porter Jr. sprained his ankle in the previous away game against the Magic, and in the next home game against the Clippers, Porter Jr.'s state is "doubtful", that is to say, his probability of playing is only 50%. Silas also said that tomorrow's game is likely to depend on Porter Jr.'s pre-game state before deciding whether to let him play.
In addition to Porter Jr.'s doubts about playing, Garuba continues to be absent due to injury, Quinn + Knicks continue to play for the Vipers, and Wall is long away from the Rockets, and he is not expected to play this season. In this way, it is good news for the Rockets' new signing Schroeder, because he can serve as the Rockets' starting point guard position for the third time after playing against the Suns and Clippers, and the main point guard Porter Jr. will be the first person to start the Rockets' No. 1 position once he does not play this game.
After coming to the Rockets, Schroeder played a total of 4 games, 2 starts and 2 substitutions in these 4 games, and it is clear that Schroeder's performance in the starting lineup is better than the performance of the bench. In the two games he played off the bench, Schroder contributed 4 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and 10 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds in one game; in the two games that started, Schroder contributed 23 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, 9 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
Once Schroeder starts for the Rockets for the third time, it will be an absolute boon for the Rockets' main shooting guard, Jaylen Green. Why? Fans who have watched recent games know that The partnership between Jaylen Green and Schroeder is very tacit, although the two have not been together for a long time, but the combination of Green + Schroeder, in terms of performance and tacit understanding, is more than the "Rocket Double Less" combination of Little Potter + Green, which rocket coach Silas has built.
If Schroeder starts, he will inevitably get 30+ minutes of playing time, when for Jaylen Green, not only will Schroeder share the pressure of his ball holding, but also Schroeder will send exquisite passes on the side, although the Rockets may not be able to beat the Clippers, but Jaylen Green's data will not be too ugly, and the 20+ points in a single game should be hand-to-hand.
