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.

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