The Rockets have had a tough scheduling stretch of late. Over Houston’s last 15 games, only three opponents have had below .500 records, and two of those (Lakers, Pelicans) are at least tracking to make the Western Conference’s play-in tournament for the 2022 playoffs.
The Pacers (23-47), however, own the NBA’s fifth-worst record. Like Houston (17-52), Indiana is clearly out of playoff contention, making this an unpredictable battle between a pair of rebuilding clubs. Finally, the young Rockets will face another team in their weight class.
Between prized rookie Jalen Green and second-year guard Tyrese Haliburton, who the Pacers recently traded for, it’s a fun matchup at Toyota Center featuring two of the NBA’s most promising young guards.
Like the Rockets, the Pacers also aren’t in the mix for the 2022 playoffs. On paper, it makes for Houston’s most winnable game in some time. https://t.co/Vz9FqdbWEZ
