Chicago hosts Houston in cross-conference game

The Houston Rockets (43-27) seek to improve their Western Conference standing in a second season meeting against the Chicago Bulls (28-42), who hold a 17-20 home record.

  • On Monday, the Houston Rockets visit the Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. EDT for their second season meeting in Chicago in a non‑conference game.
  • Houston's season averages show a balanced attack and 48.2% shooting, while the Bulls' 14.6 made 3-pointers per game challenge the Rockets' defense.
  • In their prior meeting on Jan. 14, the Rockets beat the Bulls 119-113, with Kevin Durant scoring 28 and Tre Jones averaging 3.2 made 3-pointers over 10 games.
  • Chicago's home record and Houston's road form mean the venue matters as Chicago is 17-20 at home and Houston is 18-17 on the road, while multiple injuries listed could alter rotations Monday.
  • Longer-Term implications hinge on spacing and ball control as Chicago is 12-8 when it turns the ball over less and averages 14.5 turnovers per game, while Amen Thompson, Rockets guard, shoots 52.3% and averages 18.0 points.
