Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate is out again tomorrow with a sore right ankle. The issues with the ankle redeveloped on the road trip after he missed the first four games of the season. He was to be reevaluated while the Rockets were back home for a few days. – 6:37 PM

– 3-point shooting down in volume + accuracy
– Finch’s stylistic preferences
– PHX matchup
