The Rockets continued their losing ways last week, falling 120-107 to the New Orleans Pelicans and then again to the Pelicans on Tuesday, 110-97. They got blown out by the Raptors on Thursday, 139-120 after an uneventful trade deadline.
The Rockets (15-40), who are last in the Western Conference, are 2-8 in their last 10 games and have lost four in a row. They have the third-worst record in the league and thus, are still tied with the Detroit Pistons (12-44) and Orlando Magic (13-45) for the highest odds at the top overall pick in the upcoming draft.
