They are 21-2 when holding opponents shy of 110 points. … The Rockets on Thursday moved to 30-7 when James Harden scores 34 points, his average, or more this season. Scouting the Kings: The Kings loss to the Nets on Friday dropped them to last in the Western Conference among teams in the restart, but the Trail Blazers’ loss Saturday kept Sacramento’s slim playoff hopes alive. … With a win, the Kings will have won the season series for the first time since 2003-04 but have lost 19 of 22 games vs. Houston. Injuries: Rockets — Eric Gordon (sprained lankle), Russell Westbrook (bruised quad) and Bruno Caboclo (sprained right ankle) are out. Kings — Kent Bazemore (left calf soreness) is questionable.
