Saturday, Dec 9 – Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers

TV: NBA League Pass, 10:00 (ET)

The Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers Saturday matchup features two of the best backcourts in the NBA – James Harden and Chris Paul vs. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum.

This game also features the NBA’s fourth best defense (Portland) vs. the league’s second-best offense in the game. Aside from the names, that should certainly be enough to keep an eye on as this matchup unfolds.

Oh, and let’s also not forget the James Harden show, who is currently leading the NBA in points and assists per game.
