NBA Power Rankings: Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks rule the Eastern Conference

30. Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets very much look like a young team that is trying to find its footing. Every night, they have some positives. They have some flashes. They have some promise. At the same rate, this team is vastly inconsistent, which isn’t surprising for a young team, and has some growing and developing to do.

The Rockets already have a bright future. Imagine if they’re able to land Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft.

29. Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have been decimated by injuries. It’s quite unfortunate. And, now, it’s unlikely that this team is going to have the dark horse success that many hoped they would this year. Cade Cunningham should probably be shut down for the season and I imagine that decision will come soon.

If that does happen, look for Detroit to follow that up with a Bojan Bogdanovic trade.
