The Houston Rockets have started their new season on a bumpy note, currently standing at 1-2 after dropping a close game against the San Antonio Spurs. Despite Jalen Green's impressive performance, averaging 26.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, the team is struggling to find consistency. Center Alperen Sengun, who signed a $185 million contract extension, has been struggling to live up to expectations, scoring just six points against the Spurs.
The Rockets will face tougher opponents in their upcoming games, including the defending Western Conference Champion Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors. Coach Ime Udoka will be looking for Sengun to bounce back from his disappointing performance and find a rhythm with Green.
