Fred VanVleet's return to the lineup was triumphant and Alperen Sengun snagged a triple double in just 22 minutes. Were the Rockets perfect? Of course not. 21 turnovers leap off the stat sheet and defense was optional in the second half, but in a preseason overseas, you have to expect some issues.
For Dallas, Dusty May has stated that he expects Kyrie Irving to play one of the two games. Since Irving didn't play on Friday, well the process of elimination sort of does the work for us. Kevin Durant is also listed as a game-time decision. Again, the league wants the stars to play and the teams know that, so we'll see how May and Ime Udoka play this.
Houston's next (and final) preseason game is on Thursday in Houston against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Then there's no basketball until the following Wednesday (October 21) when Houston takes on these same Dallas Mavericks to open the season.
I can't find one and honestly, if you really need this line, please get some help.
Thursday evening against the Oklahoma City Thunder
