As the Houston Rockets have soared to a 16-6 record and the third seed in the Western Conference, they have yet to truly prove themselves against the other teams that have risen to the upper echelon of the league, with losses coming against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets and the San Antonio Spurs.
This week, however, they will get their chance, with two matchups slated against the Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets, and, thankfully, it looks like they are also slated to get one of their most impactful pieces, Tari Eason, back just in time for these defining contests.
