The Houston Rockets (15-15) will play their fourth game of a seven-game homestand against the struggling Detroit Pistons (3-29) in the Toyota Center. The Rockets will be looking to avoid extending their losing streak.

The team has lost its last three games, and its most recent loss was a close one against the Philadelphia 76ers without Joel Embiid. The Rockets fell 131-127 as a result of superstar play from Tyrese Maxey, as he finished with 42 points.

But the Rockets were not without their great performances, as the team had three players that scored over 25 points. Fred VanVleet led the team in scoring with 33 points, and he also racked up 10 assists. A performance like this would be welcome in the team's next game in order to break the losing streak.

The Rockets could not ask for a better matchup to break their losing streak, as their next game against the team with the worst record in the NBA. The Pistons recently ended their record-breaking 28-game losing streak against a short-handed Toronto Raptors team. But that does not change the fact that they have struggled mightily this season, and the Rockets should take advantage of this opportunity.
