IN BRIEF:
Rockets
The Rockets' 105-97 win in Memphis this month gave them wins in five of six meetings with the Grizzlies ... The Rockets have won nine of 10 games and eight straight at home. They have won 12 of their past 13 home games ... In the past 10 games, the Rockets rank second in second-chance points and fifth-best in second-chance points allowed ... Since allowing a season-high 28 second-chance points in Miami, the Rockets have given up an average of 7.6 per game, the fewest in the NBA. They allowed the Pelicans, who lead the NBA in scoring off offensive rebounds, to six second-chance points on Saturday ... James Harden's run of three-consecutive 40-point games is the longest of his career. His streak of seven games with at least 35 points and five assists is tied with Oscar Robertson for the longest in NBA history ... Center Clint Capela, who had 26 points in the first meeting with the Grizzlies, has scored 20 points in 12 games this season, matching his total from all of last season ... Guard Eric Gordon (bruised right knee) and guard Chris Paul (strained left hamstring) are out. Forward James Ennis III (strained right hamstring) is questionable.

The Grizzlies have the sixth-rated defense. Memphis is fifth in blocked shots, averaging 8.9, and first in steals, averaging 6.2, the only team in the top five in both categories ... Forward Kyle Anderson, who did not play against the Rockets in the first meeting, has made 62.7 percent of his shots this month ... Center Marc Gasol has made at least one 3-pointer in 12-consecutive games, one game shy of the longest stretch of his career.
