Rockets analyst and editor of The Rockets Wire Ben DuBose joins Next Up to preview the Houston Rockets ahead of their matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. "They need to take advantage" of the Nets and "play with a lead," DuBose said.
The Rockets are currently 16-15 on the season. "They're barely above .500," and they've lost close games because they don't have a "tip-of-the-spear scorer." DuBose predicted that would be Jalen Green, but he still questions, "who is going to be that athletic scorer who can just take over?"
NBA All-Star weekend starts Friday, Feb. 16, but will the Rockets be represented? "I think [Alperen Şengün] should," DuBose said.
