The Houston Rockets might just be better than their record looks. They have beaten some of the best teams in the league, but have lost multiple must-win games. Houston's recent six-game losing streak was a big blow as they fell in the western conference standings.

All-Star center Alperen Sengun has had big numbers this season versus Minnesota (+3.5), and the Timberwolves could be without Rudy Gobert.

The Utah Jazz added another notch to Houston's belt as the Rockets fell 124-115 in Salt Lake City against a young and rebounding Jazz side.
