Notables:
They’re back!
Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green officially returned to the Rockets line-up after both missed time due to injury. KPJ missed 20 games due to a lingering toe injury, while Green had been out since February 15th thanks to a strained left groin. Without the two the Rockets struggled offensively getting things going and their absence led to some of the losses over the past month.
Jabari Smith Jr. Slump
The third overall pick in the 2022 draft has had trouble finding what many believed was his skillset– shooting. The big fella out of Auburn is averaging less than 10 points a game since the All-Star break on less than 30% shooting and even worse from beyond deep.
