It’s been a rough few weeks for the Georgetown Hoyas. After starting the season 12-2 and winning their first three Big East games, things have taken a turn. The Hoyas have lost four straight, and injuries to key players haven’t helped. On Monday, they’ll try to turn things around on the road against the Villanova Wildcats.

The Houston Rockets are on fire right now. After crushing the Portland Trail Blazers 125-103 on Saturday, they’re back home and ready to keep the good vibes going in a back-to-back series starting Monday against the Detroit Pistons.

They’ve already surpassed last year’s win total, and their .683 winning percentage at the halfway mark is their best since their epic 2017-18 run to the Western Conference Finals. Right now, they’re sitting pretty as the second seed in the West—and they’re not satisfied yet. The duo of Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green is the engine driving Houston’s success. Both players signed big extensions in the offseason, and they’re proving they’re worth every penny.
