Game notes and more
The Houston Rockets added DMV legend Kevin Durant in the offseason, though in the absence of Fred VanVleet and any suitable offensive organizer to replace him, the Rockets have pigeon-holed themselves as a high floor, low ceiling non-contender. They were a hot pick to make the NBA Finals before the season, but now I would not be surprised if they lose in the first round of the playoffs.
The NBA will look to change its tanking rules following this season, so the Wizards have embarked on potentially one last tankathon for the ages ahead of a loaded 2026 draft class.
