The Rockets are 6-6 in December and recently wrapped up an underwhelming 2-4 road trip, but a home victory tonight versus Indiana would give Houston a three-game winning streak to end the 2025 portion of its schedule. At 19-10, Houston is now No. 4 in the Western Conference standings, and the Rockets are 9-1 in their last 10 home games at Toyota Center.
With that in mind, today’s Rockets LaunchPod — presented by ClutchFans — breaks down all of the latest developments surrounding the team. Topics include Kevin Durant’s efficient scoring binge; the implications of Tari Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith returning healthy; and revised expectations for what has been a very inconsistent defense in recent weeks.
