In their last meeting, a 135-130 overtime thriller in Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell dropped 37 points to lead the Cavs to victory. The Rockets are a middle-of-the-road team in three-point attempts per game (16th) and near the bottom in three-point makes per game (26th). But a big part of Houston's offense this season has been Alperen Sengun, who suffered a severe ankle and knee injury just a few games...
