Houston Rockets

Players to Watch: James Harden, Terrence Jones
Notable changes from last year: The Nike Zoom Run The One has already been one of the most consistently worn shoes on court this preseason, and James Harden will, over the course of this season, receive some of the best colorways of that shoe from Nike.

Dallas Mavericks

Players to Watch: Monta Ellis, Jae Crowder

Notable changes from last year: Every season, we prepare ourselves to see Monta Ellis in at least 30 different Jordans. Last year, his first with the Dallas Mavericks, saw Ellis in the “College Blue” Air Jordan XVII, the “Neutral Grey” Air Jordan 13, the Air Jordan XVIII White/Royal and others. Jae Crowder is a dark horse on the Mavericks roster, as he is known to rock a few Nike Basketball retros as well.
