TEXANS TAKE
The Texans sent shock waves through the NFL over the weekend when they traded away Jadeveon Clowney to the Seahawks and brought in Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills from the Dolphins.
Many fans and media members felt that the Texans overpaid in their trade with the Dolphins, and didn't get enough in return for Clowney.
ESPN 97.5's Raheel Ramzanali weighs in the Texans' moves, and explains what caused Bill O'Brien to act with such desperation.
Jalen Green scored 22 points, Dillon Brooks added 21 and the Houston Rockets beat the Utah Jazz 143-105 on Wednesday night for their 50th win of the season.
Jabari Smith Jr. finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds off the bench, Tari Eason had 15 points and nine rebounds and Alperen Sengun had 15 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists for Houston, which shot 54% and was 19 of 45 on 3-pointers.

Isaiah Collier had 22 points and 10 assists, Collin Sexton finished with 18 points and Keyonte George had 14 points, for the Jazz, who lost their seventh straight game. Walker Kessler added 11 points and 12 rebounds. Utah shot 43% and were 10 of 40 on 3-pointers.
Brooks was issued a technical foul with seven minutes left in the first quarter after appearing to kick Sexton in the groin on a loose ball. If the technical is not rescinded, it would be Brooks’ 16th of the season, and he would be suspended for the Rockets’ game Friday night against Oklahoma City.
Houston's Fred VanVleet missed the game with soreness in his knee and right ankle.
Jazz: Utah dropped to 1-17 since the end of February.
5️⃣0️⃣ WINS.
