The Houston Rockets are in a great position right now, all things considered. They were able to handle the Jazz in five games during their first-round series and are now just waiting for the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers to finish their matchup.
The Clippers are doing great things for the Rockets. They keep pushing the Warriors and have forced a Game 6 that will be played tonight. Houston, thanks to LA, will now have the rest advantage in their probable second-round matchup against the defending champions.
There’s a (very) slim chance that the Clippers could actually end up winning this series as the No.
