After 2 consecutive wins, the Rockets have a home doubleheader! Their opponents are ranked in the middle and lower reaches, are 4 consecutive wins coming?

After the Rockets defeated the Wizards at home, the Rockets will still play at home in the next two games. In the next game, at 9 a.m. on November 15th, the Rockets will face the Western Conference team Trail Blazers at home. Naturally, Yang Hansen will not play, because he has been transferred to the Development League and will play two games in the Development League in the future. In the game against the Rockets, the Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen will not play.

Next, at 8 a.m. on November 17, the Rockets are still at home and will face the Orlando Magic in the East. In fact, it seems that the Trail Blazers and Magic have a certain level of strength, but compared with the Rockets, they pale in comparison. Because the Rockets are now one of the best teams in the league. Although the main point guard VanVleet is missing, the Rockets' offensive and defensive statistics are leading the league.

The Rockets' offense is only slightly worse than the Nuggets, and their defense is also among the top eight in the league. Therefore, the Rockets, who combine offense and defense, will naturally have a chance to win against the Trail Blazers and Magic. More importantly, the Rockets now have a group of shooters, and their three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league. In contrast, although the Trail Blazers have star players such as Holiday and Avdija, their overall strength is still slightly lacking compared to the Rockets.

Moreover, this team also lacks offensive points in the game, and their second lineup is also far behind the Rockets. The Trail Blazers' current record is 6 wins and 5 losses, with a winning rate of 54.5%. They are ranked eighth in the Western Conference. Although the Trail Blazers have obviously improved a lot compared to last season, compared with the Rockets, who are fourth in the Western Conference, the Trail Blazers are still not good enough.

Look at another game, the Rockets' opponent, the Orlando Magic. Although the Magic have now won two consecutive games, their current record is only 6 wins and 6 losses, with a winning rate of 50%, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference. In the Eastern Conference, competition is naturally much less difficult than in the Western Conference, but the Magic don't have that eye-catching performance, and their performance this season is even worse than last season. I still remember that the Magic defeated the Houston Rockets in the first regular season game last season, causing an upset.

Now the Magic is the kind of team that is weak but not strong. Although it can win 50% of the winning rate, compared with the Rockets, the Magic's overall strength is still at a disadvantage. Therefore, if the Rockets can perform normally, especially if their two core players Shen Jing and Durant can perform normally, Sheppard and Ethan of the second team can stably hit three-pointers, and the team strengthens its defense and grabs more rebounds, especially offensive rebounds, then it should not be a problem for the Rockets to take advantage of their home court to defeat the Trail Blazers and Orlando Magic in a row.

In addition to the fact that the Rockets have defeated the Bucks and Wizards before, the Rockets have every chance to win 4 consecutive games through these two games and further improve their ranking in the Western Conference. Now the winning gap between the Rockets and the Spurs is actually only half a game. As long as the Rockets can win normally, it won't be a big problem to surpass the Spurs, who are third in the Western Conference. So, this is who the Rockets will play in the next two games.

At the beginning of the season, the Rockets encountered some strong teams, such as the Pistons, Thunder, etc., but now the Rockets' schedule is relatively easy. The Rockets need to use this time to accumulate more wins and strive to improve their Western Conference rankings to a higher position.
