After three losing seasons, Houston Rockets made a comeback finishing with a .500 record, narrowly missing the Play-In Tournament. They have a promising future with young talent and assets acquired from James Harden trade to Brooklyn.

The highlight of the season was Fred VanVleet's veteran leadership and consistent fantasy performance. Alperen Sengun showcased potential earning the nickname Baby Jokic. Tari Eason's limited playtime was disappointing, but he showed flashes of potential.
