The Rockets start the second half of the season tonight when they take on the Kings in Sacramento.
At 14-22, the Kings sit 2 games ahead of the Rockets in the standings. As the Rockets seem to be full-on tanking, this is a big game for Houston to lose. With Christian Wood returning “soon,” the Rockets will likely be competitive shortly. We’ve seen that a full strength Rockets squad with a healthy Wood can rattle off wins.
David Nwaba, Danuel House Jr., and Wood are all out tonight. Eric Gordon is questionable. KJ Martin and Kevin Porter Jr.
