Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are hoping to get back to their winning ways as they return home to take on the Indiana Pacers at Toyota Center.

The Rockets saw their five-game losing streak snapped in a one-point loss on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on the second night of a back-to-back. While they lost, the Rockets played well and shouldn't look to have that as a crutch holding them back for their next set of games.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are also hoping to bounce back after losing to the 3-12 Toronto Raptors on the road. Injuries have plagued Indiana, but some players could return to the floor against Houston.
