As a team hoping to claim a Western Conference playoff spot, the Houston Rockets should feel pretty confident going into a meeting with the rebuilding Washington Wizards. No win looks easy, however, after Houston’s latest performance. Coming off a particularly deflating defeat, the Rockets look to snap out of their extended funk as they visit the lowly Wizards on Tuesday night. Houston hasn’t given up in its bid for a trip to the postseason, but it hasn’t looked much like a playoff team lately, dropping 13 of 20 since Jan. 23. The Rockets have lost six of nine since trading the inactive Tracy McGrady and getting high-scoring shooting guard Kevin Martin in return.
They have fallen into a 10th-place tie in the West, 4 1/2 games behind Portland for the eighth and final playoff spot. A recent stretch of games against sub-.500 opponents hasn’t improved the Rockets’ postseason outlook. Houston shot 39.0 percent in a home loss to lottery-bound Sacramento on Wednesday, and after beating conference-worst Minnesota on Saturday, fell 110-107 in overtime at Detroit. Sunday’s defeat was especially hard to swallow, as the Pistons had lost their previous six games and were playing without starting point guard Rodney Stuckey, the team’s second-leading scorer and top playmaker.
