The Portland Trail Blazers seek a winning road trip record and what could be the team’s third consecutive victory over Houston tonight at Toyota Center in a game against the sputtering Rockets. All-Star forward Deni Avdija is once again listed as doubtful to play as he continues to rest a lower back injury. But the […]
While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]

This extension frees up some immediate cap space for the […]
As we pass through the diamond, I should note that I have been playing a little footloose and fancy free with the outfield distinctions. In point of fact, just about every outfielder outside of Yordan Alvarez is capable of playing all three spots and most of them likely will play multiple positions. So, who I […]
Sean Pendergast has been a staple on Houston sports radio for almost two decades. He currently cohosts the morning show on 610 AM with Seth Payne. He has been a good partner over the years and has always been willing to spend time with us to answer our questions. Considering how close he is to […]
I’m going to write this preview with the same effort that the Houston Rockets show most nights. Think of the next four paragraphs as the quarters in a game. Oh, there’s a game tomorrow? I guess I can think about writing one. Who are we playing? The Portland Trail Blazers? Meh there’s not good so […]
This one was embarrassing, and painful. It was like watching a chess master play a person who’d maybe heard of chess, but never played it before. Steve Kerr would be in the role of grandmaster, and Ime Udoka the role of someone who just learned of the existence of the wimpy game of chess an […]
The Texans are a good team as currently constructed, but they have a chance to reach a truly elite level if they can bolster a few position groups — and it all starts with free agency. When you look at the roster, it’s clear the offensive line needs significant upgrades. Houston has its left tackle […]

The Houston Texans aren’t finished with their pre-free agency transactions. KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson and ESPN’s Adam Schefter have reported that the Texans are re-signing RT Trent Brown to a one-year, $7 million extension: Brown, 32, was initially signed to a one-year, $3 million deal by the Texans last year to be a swing tackle for […]

In light of this week’s trade news, you know what time it is. For those who missed it: the Texans sent would-be/never-was franchise center Juice Scruggs to the Detroit Lions for tailback David Montgomery and Swiss-army-o-lineman Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns for a practice squad pick. Caserio has been around long enough for us […]
With the 2026 season opener three weeks away, most of the Astros’ Opening Day 26-man roster is coming into focus. A few spots, however, remain unsettled. Here’s my first pass at how things could shake out: Starting pitchers: Hunter Brown, Christian Javier, Tatsuya Imai, Mike Burrows, Spencer Arrighetti, Lance McCullers Jr Also considered: Colton Gordon, AJ Blubaugh […]
The Houston Rockets’ final opportunity to add an external contributor comes by way of the buyout market, which is currently underway. (Well, quality contributors who haven’t been unrestricted free agents all season, that is.) The deadline for teams to waive players was Sunday, March 1. Will the Rockets be active? We’d heard a significant amount […]
Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries. Houston might have some injuries of their own, too. The Warriors have, of course, had Houston’s number in recent years and have even beaten the Rockets when […]
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George will miss three weeks with a partially torn UCL in his left elbow, the team announced Tuesday. George injured his elbow in the Wizards’ 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. He left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return before missing the team’s next game against […]

After a World Baseball Classic exhibition against Team Netherlands yesterday, the Orioles return to their Grapefruit League schedule with their first spring matchup against the Astros.
