Veteran Jameis Winston moves to backup after filling in for the injured Jaxson Dart.

The win marks the Rockets’ 18‑4 record in Sheppard starts and signals a potentially strongest roster in a decade.
The Houston Rockets improved their early regular season record to 3-0 after a 121-114 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, so are they finally realizing their potential?
In their home opener, the Atlanta Hawks fall 121-114 to the Houston Rockets despite a strong fourth‑quarter push. Jalen Johnson leads with 26 points, nine rebounds and 16 assists, while Nickeil Alexander‑Walker adds 18 points and three early threes. Dyson Daniels contributes a late 3‑pointer and 18 points with eight boards.

Astros right‑hander Tatsuya Imai struggled in his MLB debut, posting a 4.93 ERA over 76 2/3 innings with a 15.1% walk rate—the highest among qualified pitchers. After 15 starts and a brief postseason roster spot, he slid into a limited bullpen role, posting a respectable 2.00 ERA in 18 relief innings but still issuing 11 walks. Imai can opt out of his three‑year, $54 million contract, though rejecting $18 million for 2027 seems unlikely. To stay in Houston’s rotation, he must add a third viable pitch and improve control, possibly leaning on sinkers like the Astros did with Hunter Brown. Otherwise, he may transition to a bullpen role amid a thin relief corps.
The Pelicans get good news as Yves Missi’s left‑knee injury turns out to be a bone bruise, not a severe tear, after being carried off following a collision with Zion Williamson. Missi, who posted 13 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks on opening night, remains a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, though his exact return timeline is unclear. Meanwhile, guard Walter Clayton signs a two‑way deal with the Mavericks, joining their rebuild, while the Rockets count on Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams to fuel a faster, more versatile lineup. The Spurs struggle with a 0‑2 start, their new three‑guard trio posting a minus‑11 rating and relying heavily on Victor Wembanyama’s sputtering shot.

The Mavericks open the 2026‑27 season at home against a winless Spurs squad on Saturday, 7 p.m. CST at the American Airlines Center.

San Antonio (0‑2) also rests Tobias Harris but will rely on Victor Wembanyama to dominate. The matchup promises a test for Dallas’s young players like Marcus Sasser, Sergio De Larrea and Morez Johnson.
With Houston's safeties Reed Blankenship and Jalen Pitre sidelined for Sunday, the Giants should leverage Malik Nabers' versatility against the Texans' weakened secondary. Analyst suggests using motion, stacks and inside releases to force Houston into clear pre‑snap communication, giving rookie QB J.J. McCarthy insight into coverage adjustments. Nabers, who has 41 catches for 494 yards and 23 first downs in six games, can become a focal point without relying on forced throws. The piece advises scripting a few moving or stacked routes early, then adapting based on the Texans' actual response.
The Houston Rockets visit the Atlanta Hawks Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET. The game airs on ANF, CBS, and Space City Home Network and streams free on Fubo.

Atlanta, fresh from a blowout 128‑81 victory over Charlotte and a 2‑0 start, hopes to extend its Eastern Conference surge. With both teams firing on all cylinders early in the 2026‑27 season, the inter‑conference clash promises high‑scoring action.
