The Houston Rockets are currently in a slump, losing four games in a row. In their last ten games, they are 4-6 and are currently the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 26-16 record. Usually, Houston is a great regular season team, so this is a pretty shocking start to the season.
Outside of the dynamic duo of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, the team seems to be lacking a consistent third option when it comes to scoring. In the past, that role has been filled by the 2016-17 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Eric Gordon.
