Rockets to start Beverley, Asik opening night
At Rockets practice on Tuesday, coach Kevin McHale said he had his starting lineup set, but wouldn’t confirm the starting five.
Chandler Parsons told the media a few minutes later that it wasn’t a surprise.
“Did he not tell you guys who is starting? I don’t know why it is a big surprise. It is the same guys as when the preseason ended,” Parsons said.
In the last two games of the preseason, the starting five were Dwight Howard, Omer Asik, Chandler Parsons, James Harden and Pat Beverley.
