This morning, NBA.com released their weekly power rankings, and the Houston Rockets slotted in at the number three spot behind only the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder
The Rockets had won three games in a row after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Nuggets, including two (against teams with winning records) without Kevin Durant. But that was before last night’s ugly loss to the Utah Jazz.
Houston has a relatively easy schedule this week as after facing Utah, they will face Sacramento, Phoenix, and then Dallas. Out of those three teams, Phoenix is the only one above 500 as they are currently seventh in the Western Conference.
