Mike D'Antoni's Houston Rockets currently sit at the fourth position in the Western Conference with a 21-10 record. James Harden and Co. suffered a humiliating Christmas Day loss to the Golden State Warriors. There are serious doubts that the Houston-based franchise will not be able to compete with the likes of LA Clippers and the Lakers in the race to make the playoffs. Russell Westbrook, who formerly played for OKC Thunder, has played 28 times. He is averaging 24.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. He is rumoured to be on his way out of the Rockets setup.
