For the first time in two weeks, the Rockets play a team that is out of playoff contention. The Hawks currently sit 15th out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference, and would possess the third-highest chance to get the coveted No. 1 ping-pong ball.
However, tonight is not a meaningless game. No games are meaningless when the Rockets are involved. Despite holding a 4.5-game lead over the Warriors for the top seed, the Rockets want to lock up that top seed ASAP so they can rest their guys to gear up for what is looking to be a long postseason run.
