The Houston Rockets (1-3) will face off against the Portland Trail Blazers (3-1) at the Toyota Center tonight in Houston. The game will start at 9:30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below (free for subscribers).

The Rockets are attempting to avoid being eliminated from the playoffs Wednesday night, after losing to the Trail Blazers by a score of 123-120 on Sunday in Game 4. James Harden had 28 points and 6 assists in another losing effort for the Rockets.

Now that the Rockets are in a win or go home situation, they must win three games in a row in order to advance to the second round when they return to Houston this evening.

"It's desperation time," said Chandler Parsons to reporters. "We don't want our season to end and if we lose that's going to happen. All of our backs are against the wall and we've just got to be a resilient team."

The Trail Blazers meanwhile will be looking to wrap up the first round series. In Game 4, Lamarcus Aldridge had another terrific game, scoring 29 points to propel the Trail Blazers to the victory.

The Trail Blazers currently have only one NBA title back in 1977 and they will be desperate to push on this postseason and stun the NBA world by winning a second title.

"Houston will show a lot of fight," said Damian Lillard to reporters. "I believe 100 percent that they feel like they can still win the series. It will be hard to put them away. We've got to take it up a level because they will try to keep their season alive."
