Tari Eason had 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench, and he's one of seven Rockets players averaging in double-figures this season.

Houston gets extra offensive possessions by leading the NBA in offensive boards, and it then makes the most of each possession by having the third-fewest turnovers per game. On defense, the Rockets are holding opponents to the fourth-fewest points per game, and containing foes to the second-lowest 2-point percentage.
