The Houston Rockets are coming off a satisfying victory as they host the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. At 12-6 and tied for the best record in the Southwest division, facing a team that has lost nine in a row should be an easy task, however, the Rockets could still be facing a tough game with some unforeseen injury circumstances.
It’s safe to say the Rockets hit their low-point of the early season when they suffered a 29-point, record-setting loss against the Miami Heat in their sixth game of the season. On Wednesday, they exorcised some of their demons by soundly defeating Mami 117-108 in front of a raucous Toyota Center crowd.
