After a season-long homestand of seven games, the young and struggling Houston Rockets will hit the road for their next three games, starting with Monday night’s game at Chicago. It’s the start of a road back-to-back, with another game looming Tuesday in Boston.
The Rockets don’t enter with much momentum, having lost five consecutive games to finish out that homestand. The veteran-laden Bulls, by contrast, have won three straight — though they’re still a relative disappointment for the 2022-23 NBA season as a whole. Even after that recent surge, Chicago enters at four games below .500.
