The Houston Rockets will look to continue their dominance at home this season when they host the lowly Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Sacramento has lost all but one of its last 10 games played and is on the heels of a 16-game losing streak.
Barring an atrocious defensive performance from Houston, it will cruise to an easy victory over a Kings team that will be sans some of its most talented players.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Rockets have a 35-21 record, which puts them in the Western Conference standings’ third-place slot.
The Kings are the owners of a 13-46 record, good enough for dead last in the Western Conference.
