Former Rockets player Patrick Beverley helped the team win over the Lakers in the Timberwolves game against the Lakers, in addition to the star Carl Anthony Downs who led the Timberwolves to win, of course, Beverley also got 18 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
But in addition to the offensive end, Beverley's real contribution is still on the defensive end, and his "harassment" of the Lakers players has indeed caused heated discussion. Beverley said he had reached the Western Conference Finals twice in his career, which is a remarkable achievement in any player's career. But there are also fans who refute Beverley
Achievements of the "Two Breaks into the Western Showdown":
"Beverly said he broke into the Western Conference Finals twice, yet he missed the last 12 games of the regular season for the Rockets in 2014-15 and missed the entire playoffs due to injury, do you think this is one of Beverley's accomplishments?"
Beverley was indeed a key part of that Rocket that year, but he didn't contribute much in the Rockets' playoffs.
On the other hand, as the regular season entered its final stages, the league also began to predict the possible draft picks that the Rockets might get in the draft. "ClutchFans" said on its official Twitter that if the Rockets want to get Chet or Jabari (a big hit), they will only have a 27.4% chance of getting the top two picks, but if one of the two falls to the 3rd pick, then the Rockets will have a 40.1% chance of getting one of the two:
But for the Rockets this season, they are still in the rebuilding phase, and the best reward after a bad record is to take a high pick and a player with better prospects in the draft.
Finally, the Rockets' odds before the Pacers are out, with the Pacers having a win odds of -4.5, compared to +145 odds for the Rockets under Jaylen Brown:
So far this season, the Pacers have only 23 wins and 47 losses in the East and are in 13th place, as for the Rockets' record of only 17 wins and 52 losses so far this season.
