The Rockets open a six-game homestand when the Chicago Bulls visit Toyota Center on Saturday night. It’s Houston’s longest streak of consecutive home games still left in the 2022-23 NBA season.
The Rockets enter with the NBA’s worst record, but there have been some encouraging signs from Houston’s young squad in recent days. They’ve won two of their last four games, and in Thursday’s overtime loss at Indiana, rookie forward Jabari Smith Jr. had the best game of his young career with a career-high 30 points and 12 rebounds. That line included a dramatic tying 3-pointer late in regulation.
