Coming into the 2019-20 NBA season, the Houston Rockets faced many questions, but the main one was regarding the pairing of Russell Westbrook and James Harden. The early results have been up-and-down and essentially too small of a sample size to draw a conclusion. Regardless of the assessment of the newly formed duo, the Rockets currently have a record of 16-8, which is good for fourth in the Western Conference standings.
What’s more impressive about this is the fact that the Houston Rockets have had a large number of injuries, most notably to Eric Gordon, who is a former Sixth Man of the Year recipient.
