The Houston Rockets were playoff participants this season after spending the past four years in the top four picks of the NBA Draft, but they find themselves back in a familiar place with tonight's lottery.

As a result of the pick swap made with the Brooklyn Nets last summer, the Rockets have the draft rights to the Phoenix Suns' first-round pick, which is set to land in the top 10.

The Rockets can continue to add to their pile of prospects, or they can use the pick to bargain with in a trade for a win-now player to help them get further in the playoffs.
