Kevin Durant's role, offense and point guard problem
Digest more
The Rockets and Pistons are both looking for their first win of the season in Tuesday's game at Toyota Center, which will feature Amen and Ausar Thompson.
The Rockets are also with Fred VanVleet, who tore in ACL prior to the start of training camp. While the defense wasn't expected to be as elite as last year, the offense was assumed to make up for it. Durant, through two games, is averaging 30 points per game, while Alperen Sengun is averaging 28.
Kevin Durant (37 points, 50% FG) was brilliant, but it was a bad night for all of Houston’s young prospects in Friday’s home loss versus Detroit.
