After the last loss to the Nuggets, the Rockets ushered in the second longest 12-game losing streak of the season, leaving 3 games from the 15-game losing streak of the season, and the Next 3 opponents of the Rockets were the Grizzlies, the Heat, and the Lakers, so if there is no accident, the Rockets are likely to equal or even refresh the record of this season's losing streak.
Despite the team's consecutive losses, Hugh City fans are still very happy, first of all, in the past period of time, the Rockets' top pick Jaylen Green has improved tremendously compared to the beginning of the season.

Then there is the fact that the Rockets have dropped from the bottom of the league to the bottom of the league after 12 consecutive losses, because the Pistons and Magic have won some games in succession recently, coupled with the relatively high difficulty of the Rockets schedule, the Rockets' 15-48 record is basically sitting in the league's penultimate position, which brings another advantage to the Rockets, the team's first round of signing in 2022 can draw the 5th pick. According to the NBA draft lottery rules, the probability of the league's penultimate three draws are 14%, the probability of winning the top 4 picks is 52.1%, and the Rockets' previous position in the league's penultimate position is actually the goal of the team's swing, but many people still wonder why the Rockets have to sit all the way to the bottom of the league, mainly to ensure that the team can at least get the 5th pick.
