Houston Rockets Schedule 2019 Rockets Schedule

The Rockets won the most games in the NBA last season, and having the backcourt that they do, that is no surprise. With James Harden and Chris Paul on the same roster, and boasting one of the best offenses in basketball, NBA will want to get them nationally televised as often as they could. That will be the case the first week of the season as they face New Orleans and Los Angeles in televised games for Opening Week. The Rockets will also take on Oklahoma City on Christmas Day, and then the 76ers on Martin Luther King Jr Day. The Rockets made quick work of the Eastern Conference last season, winning 24 of 30 games. They also dominated a tough Western Conference, going 41-11. They are going to battle out a tough Western Conference again, and they are still in a tough division despite the fallout of San Antonio. They do get to enjoy eight games against Memphis and Dallas, who are going through a rebuild at the moment. New Orleans has one of the top players in the league, Anthony Davis, but Houston is far and above the best team in this division, and they showed it last year winning 12 of 16 divisional games. Houston gets an excellent run-in to the playoffs, going up against Sacramento twice, the Clippers, Knicks, Suns, and then Oklahoma City to end the year. They have some big Eastern Conference games against Boston on March 3rd, and December 27th. The Christmas week is somewhat tough, going up against San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Boston, and New Orleans. They take on Memphis, then jump into a northwest trip against Golden State, Portland, and Denver. Houston will be one of the two teams contending for the one seed in the Western Conference, which is the only easy call when trying to predict the West.
