Their energy is on high level in every given game, and today they are hosting the Indiana Pacers, a team they haven’t beaten in five years. Indiana will be looking for their tenth consecutive win against the Rockets and only their third road win this season. Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam are one of the best duos in the league at the moment, but the Rockets will use the momentum and win tonight.
