Beginning tonight, the Houston Rockets will play nine teams in a row that currently have a record of at least .500. They will visit the current third seed in the Eastern Conference, the 7-3 Indiana Pacers, tonight to start that stretch.
The schedule then goes like this: @ OKC (4-4), @ SAS (6-3), vs. IND (7-3), @ DEN (8-1), vs. GS (9-1), vs. SAC (6-4), vs. DET (4-4), @ DET (4-4). Needless to say, this will be quite a test for the Rockets that has started out a disappointing 1-5.
The Rockets are coming off of a back-to-back sweep of the Nets and the Bulls.
