The Houston Rockets have essentially two key components of their core with a questionable tag heading into Wednesday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, which isn’t necessarily the best timing considering that we’re in the meat of the season as it pertains to playoff seeding.
Although the Rockets have won 29 of the first 46 games of the season, they’ve lost many games they should have won. This obviously places more importance on each game down the stretch, especially if they want to get home court advantage for at least one series.
In spite of that, the Houston Rockets should rest Clint Capela and James Harden in Wednesday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, especially since neither of them are fully healthy.
