Houston Rockets playoffs FAQ

Are the Houston Rockets in a playoff spot?

Yes, as of today: No. 3 in the West, a direct playoff place.

Who would the Houston Rockets play in the first round?

The Golden State Warriors (No. 6), at home; then the 2/7 winner.

When is the next Rockets game?

Fri, Nov 13 · 8:30 PM EST, home to the Utah Jazz, on KJZZ-TV.

How many wins are the Rockets on pace for?

62 wins over 82 games at their current .750 winning percentage.

Does winning the Southwest matter?

Only as a tiebreaker. NBA seeds go purely by record within the conference, so a division winner can still land in the Play-In.

How do NBA teams make the playoffs?

Seeds 1 to 6 in each conference qualify directly; seeds 7 to 10 play the Play-In Tournament for the last two places.
