After three straight road losses and a logistical peculiarity that forced an overnight stay in San Francisco instead of Sacramento, the Houston Rockets will gladly return home to host the Chicago Bulls for the first time this season.
Rockets mostly healthy
Despite being nearly full-force in their last three losses—two to the Portland Trail Blazers and one to the Sacramento Kings—Houston has struggled mightily on the offensive end, ranking 28th in scoring, 30th in both field goal and three-point percentage, and 29th in assists per game over the three-game losing streak. Perhaps the offseason loss of Fred VanVleet to a torn ACL is finally catching up to a point guard-less Rockets squad.
