NBA TO RESCHEDULE GAMES
Following the Milwaukee Bucks decision to boycott their playoff game against the Magic, the Rockets and Thunder will not play on Wednesday. The players are boycotting in response to the recent shooting of an unarmed African-American man, Jacob Blake.

The NBA has responded to the boycott and will reschedule all three games that were originally scheduled for Wednesday.
All games are postponed, and Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled, NBA says.

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.
Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.
When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.
With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
