Previous: 14th. Houston Rockets. 14. team. 169. <p>The Houston Rockets are holding steady, sitting at .500 and in 7th seed of the Western Conference. Houston is only half a game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks, who sit in 8th, and 1.5 games ahead of the Utah Jazz, who sit in 9th.</p>

<p>Houston plays the Thunder, Jazz, Raptors and Pacers over the next week.</p>. (35-35)
