The Houston Rockets will attempt to extend their road winning streak to three Sunday night during a Western Conference showdown against the Sacramento Kings. The game will mark the Rockets' second of their three-game road trip, which began with a 123-107 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night.

Jalen Green put on a show in Portland. He finished the game with a team-best 27 points on 11 of 19 shooting from the field, 4 of 9 from behind the arc. He put the team on his back during the third period, and his production led to Houston's sixth road victory of the year.

Green scored 13 of the Rockets' 32 points during the period. The momentum Green established in the quarter was the spark to help Houston overcome a 63-55 halftime deficit. The third-year guard from G League Ignite has now scored 15 or more points in six consecutive games.

The Kings are coming into the game after winning three of their previous four. Their latest victory took place during a 131-129 win over the San Antonio Spurs. De'Aaron Fox scored a team-best 33 points in the win. Their contest against the Rockets will be the second of their six-game homestand.
