Game notes and more<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards are playing the Houston Rockets Monday night.
