At least by record, the Rockets are one of the NBA’s worst teams. While the young group has won five of its last nine games, and three of its most recent four, the totality of the evidence from the 2022-23 season suggests that Houston is clearly among the bottom feeders.
But somehow, at least when it comes to performances away from home, the defending champion Warriors are right there with the Rockets. Golden State, which visits Houston on Monday to wrap up a six-game homestand at Toyota Center, is just 7-29 on the road. Overall, the Warriors enter having lost six of their last eight games.
