The host Houston Rockets narrowly took down the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Monday , 122 - 118 . Houston ( 18 - 7 ) is one of the league 's hottest teams , having won 12 of its last 14 contests . On Monday , the struggling Nets gave the Rockets a surprising run for their money ; however , superstar James Harden was able to shoulder the load en route to victory . Harden scored 36 points and had eight rebounds and 11 assists as he led the Rockets offense to 17 three - pointers and 46 percent shooting . It was an uncharacteristically poor night for him at the line , however , as he shot just 8 - of - 12 on free - throw attempts . This seemed to be a theme for the entire team on Monday , as the Rockets hit only 58 percent from the line . Brooklyn ( 6 - 17 ) , meanwhile , finds itself in the opposite situation of Houston , having lost 12 of its last 14 games . The Nets have struggled mightily since an unexpectedly hot start in the season 's opening week , though the team did see a positive in Houston as guard Jeremy Lin was able to play for the first time after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in the season . Lin saw 20 minutes of play time and had 10 points and seven assists . The Nets shot over 52 percent from the field as a team , but had turnover issues , committing 19 by the game 's end . Big man Brook Lopez led the team in scoring with 26 . The Nets will host the Lakers on Wednesday while the Rockets will host the Kings . Houston 's James Harden has been phenomenal as the Rockets have surged to third in the Western Conference , and the All-Star guard does not seem to be letting up . On Monday , Harden scored 36 points to go along with eight rebounds and 11 assists . The 36 points were despite his shooting just 8 - of - 12 from the line on the night , a sub - standard mark for the career 85 percent free - throw shooter . It was an off night for the team as a whole , as Houston hit just 58 percent of its free - throw attempts . Sixth man Eric Gordon , meanwhile , continued to shoot three - pointers at a historic rate . Gordon had 24 points and knocked down 6 - of - 10 attempts from beyond the arc . For Brooklyn , point guard Jeremy Lin came off the bench to score 10 points and had seven assists in his first game back from a hamstring injury . Brooklyn shot a whopping 52 percent as a team but hit only seven three - pointers and had 19 turnovers . Big man Brook Lopez led the team with 26 points .
