The Houston Rockets enter the post-All-Star break portion of the 2022-23 season looking for any silver lining possible amid a third straight campaign at the bottom of the league standings.
Stephen Silas' squad enters its final 24 games on the heels of a seven-game losing streak, a stretch that included two last-second defensive errors, two 30-plus-point losses to Oklahoma City and a blowout defeat in front of James Harden and the 76ers. Adding injury to insult, second-year guard and franchise anchor Jalen Green exited the final game before the break with a groin injury, though he shouldn't miss extended time to start the final 24 games, per the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen.
