Latest news and updates about the Rockets
The Portland Trail Blazers seek a winning road trip record and what could be the team’s third consecutive victory over Houston tonight at Toyota Center in a game against the sputtering Rockets. All-Star forward Deni Avdija is once again listed as doubtful to play as he continues to rest a lower back injury. But the […]
While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]
I’m going to write this preview with the same effort that the Houston Rockets show most nights. Think of the next four paragraphs as the quarters in a game. Oh, there’s a game tomorrow? I guess I can think about writing one. Who are we playing? The Portland Trail Blazers? Meh there’s not good so […]
This one was embarrassing, and painful. It was like watching a chess master play a person who’d maybe heard of chess, but never played it before. Steve Kerr would be in the role of grandmaster, and Ime Udoka the role of someone who just learned of the existence of the wimpy game of chess an […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward Deni Avdija has been downgraded to doubtful to play against the Houston Rockets on Friday as he continues to deal with lower back injury management, the organization announced. Avdija had been listed as questionable to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, although he was ultimately ruled out ahead of […]

The Houston Rockets’ final opportunity to add an external contributor comes by way of the buyout market, which is currently underway. (Well, quality contributors who haven’t been unrestricted free agents all season, that is.) The deadline for teams to waive players was Sunday, March 1. Will the Rockets be active? We’d heard a significant amount […]
Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries. Houston might have some injuries of their own, too. The Warriors have, of course, had Houston’s number in recent years and have even beaten the Rockets when […]
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George will miss three weeks with a partially torn UCL in his left elbow, the team announced Tuesday. George injured his elbow in the Wizards’ 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. He left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return before missing the team’s next game against […]
Something has been in the air lately, almost like a bug—or perhaps an injury bug? Jokes aside, both Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. have had ankle injuries in recent games. Amen hurt his ankle in Monday’s game against the Washington Wizards, while Jabari was injured during last Thursday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Houston’s […]

Every NBA player has a role. That’s not to say that every NBA player has the right role. I worked at a law firm for five years. For the first year, I worked in the file room. I did well there because it would definitely be possible to train a primate to do the job. […]
With Houston playing good ball out of the All-Star break this a reminder that yes, you are still allowed to be mad at the Jared McCain trade. The Rockets seem to have gotten their act together since this blog started tracking their progress and the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers. They went […]
Last night’s loss by the Washington Wizards — this time to the Houston Rockets — seems from the numbers like it was at least a somewhat entertaining game. They fell behind by as much as 19, then went ham in the fourth quarter to trim the final margin to just five. Now, it was one […]
The Houston Rockets built up a big lead against the Washington Wizards, and then they had hold on towards the end and a fourth-quarter rally by the Wiz, finishing the game with a 123-118 victory. The Rockets were led by Alperen Sengun, who finished witgh 32 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and a […]
The Washington Wizards faced the Houston Rockets on Monday night at Capital One Arena. The Wizards made 19 of their 35 3-point attempts, but that hot shooting wasn’t enough as they lost to the Rockets, 123-118. Julian Reese, who signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Saturday, started at center in his NBA debut […]

This year’s Houston Rockets team has been one of the most inconsistent iterations of the team seen in recent memory. More over, the Rockets have been one of the most inconsistent ball clubs in the entire league. They’re far from a lock to beat the league’s relatively easier opponents. In fact, I tend to get […]
The Houston Rockets head to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Wizards tonight. With Washington’s injury list (see below), Washington’s mascot G-Wiz might have to play some minutes for the home team. He’s still recovering from the cheap shot that Jaxson Hayes gave him earlier this season. March is generally the month where […]

Signs of life against another Florida team might have been premature. The Rockets were largely outsmarted today by the Heat. You might say Miami nightlife is undefeated, and that playing at 3:30 in the afternoon was never going to work out well for the young Rockets, but there might have been a little more on […]
It’s been a while since the Miami Heat have earned a statement win, but they did just that on Saturday. They handed the now 37-22 visiting Houston Rockets a 115-105 loss inside Kaseya Center, spoiling Kevin Durant’s 32-point outing. The victory improves Miami’s record to 32-29 overall, closing the playoff seeding gap to .5 games […] The post Bam Adebayo leads the Heat to 115-105 upset win over Rockets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
