The losses the Rockets accumulated at the end of January and start of February pushed them down in the Western Conference standings from No. 2 to 5. Bleacher Report writer Greg Swartz believes that the Rockets' collapse could continue beyond the All-Star Break and that Houston could end up making the Play-In Tournament.

At the time of writing, the Suns, who entered the season with title aspirations, sit at just ninth in the Western Conference with a record of 26-25. The season has not gone as planned. If the draft were held today, the Suns would likely be conveying the 14th pick to Houston.
