Rockets enter the game thinking they've pretty much won it with SAC resting all of its starters. Kings jump out to at least a 15 point lead in the 1st half, then the Rockets will have to scramble in order to come back. Harden plays 44 minutes as the Rockets barely eek out a 2 point win.

I haven't seen this level of draft intelligence since the Tennessee-Jets toilet bowl for Mariota, where the Titans executed a hail Mary on the final play but ordered Walker to promptly walk out of bounds at the 5 yard and secure the draft pick.
Slap one Curry to get humiliated by the other. No way the Rockets lose this. The Kings play without their starters (Boogie, Rondo, Collison, Casspi & Belinelli) and need to lose to keep their Top-10 protected Pick that goes to Chicago otherwise.
