The Houston Rockets head into tonight with three first-round picks: No. 3, No. 17 (from the James Harden Brooklyn trade) and No. 26 (from the Christian Wood Dallas trade).

The consensus over the last few weeks has seemingly been that Auburn's Jabari Smith would head to Orlando with the No. 1 pick, followed by Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren to Oklahoma City at No. 2, leaving Dukes Paolo Banchero for the Rockets at No. 3.

Now, there is substantial talk that the Rockets will be aggressive on draft night, and have even been in talks with the Magic about trading up to the No. 1 slot.

These rumors also seem to coincide with the overnight change in vegas betting odds, that thrust Banchero into the favorite spot to go No. 1 overall.

Reading the tea leaves, that could suggest that, for better or worse, Banchero is the Rockets guy, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to secure him.

And as we know with general manager Rafael Stone, anything can happen on draft night.

Here's how to watch tonight's draft coverage:
