The Rockets are equally as bad at home, on the road, on offense, and on defense and most of that is due to young players getting playing time.</p><p>The Rockets do, however, have an up-and-coming young core of players led by star rookie Jalen Green. One of the players who was supposed to be a good basketball role model for Green was Danuel House. That was up until the news broke today…</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">ESPN Sources: The Rockets are waiving forward Danuel House, allowing him to find a new team in the final year of his deal.

In the equivalent of two seasons worth of games, House has a career 36% three-point mark and averages nine points in 25 minutes per night. Most teams can use that type of production, but for the Rockets he was simply taking up space that they could use to evaluate younger players and aren’t particularly on the same timeline as players who are in the last years of their deals like House is.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sources: Rockets will use open roster spot to convert Garrison Mathews from a two-way deal to a 4-year contract worth more than $8 million.

The recent addition of Matthews to the Rockets starting lineup has led to an increase in wins for the franchise as they are just 2-16 with Matthews out of the lineup and 7-4 when he is in it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

No matter how bad the team is, it just wasn’t probable that they would finish the season with only one win. However, it was pretty unlikely that it would happen against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference in the Chicago Bulls. Even unlikelier was doing it without star prospect Jalen Green.</p><p>Green exploded out of the gates with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, and 1-of-2 from three-point range before having to leave with a left leg injury. However, Houston didn’t slow down. Instead, they outscored the Bulls 32-25 in the second quarter and seemed to reach a level defensively that they wouldn’t have been able to reach with Green.</p><p>“Definitely feels good,” said Stephen Silas after the game. “More than the win, it just feels good for the guys. It feels so good for [Danuel] House. It feels so good for [Kevin Porter Jr.]. It feels so good for [Christian] Wood who struggled from the free throw line and made two huge free throws down the stretch and made a great play off the roll to a corner pass. It feels great for Garrison [Matthews], Armoni [Brooks], and Eric [Gordon], who has been a stalwart through this whole thing. So yeah, it feels good to win. But it feels so much better for those guys. Like I said before the game, it’s really just about them. And I couldn’t be more proud.”</p><p>Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. also made his return to the Rockets’ rotation today and played really well in Green’s absence, tallying 14 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.</p><p>“I was really happy with the way Scoot played,” said Silas of Porter Jr. “We really just been talking a lot about his ability to help other guys. He had nine assists tonight and stayed in the game. His focus, even in those moments where he thought he got fouled, he just stayed with it and didn’t have one of those moments he kind of dipped out of it and then came back..”</p><p>On his first night with a healthy roster, Silas interestingly enough chose not to play center Daniel Theis and instead started a lineup with Christian Wood at center, Jae’Sean Tate at power forward, Eric Gordon at small forward, Green at shooting guard, and Porter Jr. at point guard. The Rockets had been struggling with floor spacing all season with their two big lineups and this new lineup provided the team with a ton of what they were missing.</p><p>Wood got to play his natural position at center and be an effective screen and dive guy. Jae’Sean Tate seems more effective at power forward. And Eric Gordon just adds a spacing threat that the Rockets badly needed in their starting unit. Gordon is also Houston’s second best player so that certainly helps Houston start games better.</p><p>“We were able to get deep up in the lanes and make passes, hockey assists, assists, open threes, and drives,” said forward Danuel House after the game. “That’s the key. Because now you can get to the free throw line, you can get shot attempts, and you’re not turning over the ball. Those things are really huge for us. It’s something that the coaching staff did their research and homework on and wanted to mix some things up.”</p><p>Coach Silas used the lineup primarily to take advantage of Wood’s matchup against the Bulls. The secondary benefits are kind of hard to ignore though when you’re thinking about the Rockets moving forward this season.</p><p>“[Wood] is a good pick and pop player, he can play off closeouts, he can roll to the rim,” said Silas on the new lineup. “And he needs to be at the five more. But I was also pretty confident with Eric, Jalen, and Scoot on the floor together. Little bit more playmaking and little bit more space.”</p><p>Silas would not commit to Wood at center as the long-term solution and instead said the Rockets will go in an entirely different direction with their starting lineups this season.</p><p>“It’s hard to say,” said Silas. “It’s just one game. Because there will be teams that will have a bigger five and we’ll have to adjust. As far as us having a set starting lineup, I think it’s trending towards no and being more based on who we’re playing and what their strengths are and less about us.”</p><p>To say this was a weight off the Rockets’ shoulders as a team is an understatement. At 15-straight losses, this was the franchise’s second longest losing streak and every game was becoming progressively more must-win. This will allow them to play basketball without all the pressure.</p><p>“Great,” said House on the win. “Unbelievable. Exciting. So many words could be said for that one question. But we’re grateful for it. We can’t hang out hats on it. We did a great job tonight. We still have a lot more games left. We just need to go to the drawing board and continue to carry this momentum.”</p><p>After a rough season, House had a pretty exceptional performance tonight, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist, and 1 steal on 6-of-7 shooting from the field, 4-of-4 shooting from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line. From a raw impact standpoint, House was also a +9 in 16 minutes.</p><p>“I just tried to be me,” said House. “I haven’t been able to be myself lately. I’ve been harder on myself for no reason. But I was able to be myself, play within my limits, and have fun.”</p><p>The Rockets play six out of their next seven games at home and four of their games are against teams with a win percentage of 33.3% or lower. Houston should be able to take this momentum and pick up at least one other win during this stretch.</p><p>“It’s a long season,” said House. “A lot of things can happen within the midst of the season. The only thing we can really control is our effort we can put into getting better everyday. Guys have been putting in extra work and working overtime to make sure that we were prepared and ready for this moment.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We try to avoid them as best we can, but it’s an inescapable part of the human experience. Most of us are fortunate enough to make these mistakes in the privacy of our own lives. However, as a public figure, particularly an athlete, you’re not afforded that same privacy. So when Houston Rockets forward Danuel House was kicked out of the NBA Bubble in Orlando for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-danuel-house-jr-breaks-silence-controversy-that-got-him-booted-from-bubble/">violating the league’s health and safety protocols</a>, he not only had to deal with the fallout in his work environment but the very public backlash.</p><p>“I’d like to deeply apologize to the fans, also,” said House in December <a href="https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2020/12/02/danuel-house-jr-apologizes-to-rockets-fans-for-nba-bubble-mishap/">after publicly apologizing</a> to the Rockets organization. “If you felt I let you down, sincere apologies from me, Danuel House Jr., to everyone.”</p><p>It’s hard to ignore that what House did in the midst of a raging pandemic was pretty reckless. Public figures, rightly or wrongly, are held to a higher standard than the general public. However, it’s worth noting that House did acknowledge the mistake, accepted the consequences, and made this public apology. It also likely cost him the trust of an entire organization at the time. It’s gotten to the point where most people have to double-take when they see House’s name still on the Rockets’ roster.</p><p>At the same time, it’s been a full calendar year since the incident, and House is slated to start this season as a member of the team. Houston has evidently moved past the incident and per Kelly Iko of The Athletic, <a href="https://theathletic.com/2771653/2021/08/16/answering-rockets-questions-john-wall-trade-what-about-danuel-house/">spoke to House’s representation while in Las Vegas</a>, presumably about a contract extension. He’s got a solid relationship with his teammates and Rockets assistant coach John Lucas has been a mentor of his since youth. The Rockets could obviously still move House ahead of his contract expiring in 2022, but if they can extend him at a reasonable number, exploring an extension isn’t the worst idea.</p><p>Houston’s fanbase, however, clearly views the situation differently. House became sort of a punching bag on the internet after the incident. Additionally, for the past few weeks, Rockets fans have pestered House on social media to give his jersey number – 4 – to shooting guard Jalen Green. The implication here is that Houston should turn the keys of the franchise over to Green and that House is the last player to be stepping in the way of the star prospect having his preferred number.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Talked to Danuel House today, who tells me DEFINITIVELY that he will not be giving up No. 4</p><p>House says it's important to him because his family has deep roots in Freedman's Town and the Fourth Ward of Houston.</p><p>"…(the number 4) empowers me to be me…" <a href="https://t.co/IBUfaqkCET" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/IBUfaqkCET</a></p><p>— Ari Alexander (@AriA1exander) <a href="https://twitter.com/AriA1exander/status/1433922976622202883?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">September 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p> </p><p>However, the NBA doesn’t work like that. Jersey numbers are something players hold sacred and being forced to hand them over is seen as a sign of disrespect. They also have no impact on the basketball product, nor do they matter to anyone but the player wearing it so the motivation to pester a player like this is very strange. Nevertheless, the point is that the Rockets fanbase hasn’t completely gotten over the Orlando incident.</p><p>For what it’s worth, Danuel House is still a very capable basketball player. The notion that he just forgot how to be a useful player when he was just that for a playoff team a year ago doesn’t really compute. At his best, House was a decent defender, capable ball-handler, and good shooter (36.4% for his career). He’s also one of the few wing-sized players left on Houston’s roster (6-foot-6) so a packed rotation shouldn’t get in the way of him getting minutes.</p><p>If given the chance, House could certainly be of use to Rockets coach Stephen Silas next season. We’ll just have to see how they intend to utilize him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was a bad decision made on his part, but one that didn’t just affect the team — it might have affected his future.Now, the biggest question becomes his standing with the team. House violated the number one rule of veteran teams: trust. D’Antoni was a big fan of House, but he’s gone now. The decision of House’s future now more or less lies in Daryl Morey’s hands. Between now and whenever the 2020-21 season begins, House will have to work to regain the trust of his teammates. This probably isn’t as extreme as a “time heals all wounds” case, but there’s certainly work to do. Cutting him from the team outright would be pretty bold, in my opinion, given the team-friendly deal, his fit with the group, and his production. But I’m just a beat writer. I think “up in the air” is a fair assessment of his (Rockets) status at this point.</blockquote><p>House averaged 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds for the Rockets in nine playoff games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Lakers. Houston fell to the Lakers in five games after winning Game 1 of the series.</p><p>House is set to make $3,717,000 in 2020-21 and $3,894,000 in 2021-22. It’s going to be interesting to see what the Rockets do with the small forward after his mistake in the bubble.</p><p>The Rockets will have a new head coach next season after Mike D’Antoni decided not to come back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Houston Rockets sharpshooter is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-details-of-nbas-investigation-into-danuel-house-jr-revealed/" rel="noopener noreferrer">currently under investigation</a> for allegedly bringing in a female COVID-19 testing official into his hotel room, which would violate the league’s health and safety protocol.</p><p>House has maintained his innocence, and the Rockets were apparently “blindsided” by the NBA’s decision to keep him out of action, noting there had been little direct communication between the league office and team officials, according to <a href="https://t.co/r2L3oqTTKz?amp=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ben Golliver of The Washington Post</a>.</p><p>Houston has also received no form of evidence while the NBA and National Basketball Players Association work out the situation:</p><blockquote>“The NBA is treating [House] as guilty until proven innocent for safety reasons,” said one person with knowledge of the situation. “They’re prioritizing their perception of safety over everything else. The NBPA feels its hands are tied. Any time [the union] talks about due process or presumption of guilt, [the NBA] immediately says, ‘Safety, safety, safety.’ There has to be some limit or balance.”“If it was a star player, there’s no way [the NBA] would handle it this way,” said a person close to House with direct knowledge of the investigation. “They want to make an example out of somebody.”</blockquote><p>House went scoreless in Game 1 of the series against the Los Angeles Lakers and bounced back in Game 2 to score 13 points in a loss. He hasn’t stepped foot on the hardwood since.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

D’Antoni is unsure of House’s status for the rest of the series:</p><blockquote>“I don’t know,” D’Antoni said, via <a href="https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1304167388959641600">ESPN’s Tim MacMahon</a>. “The investigation is going on. When they come out with their ruling, then we’ll just go from there.”</blockquote><p>House missed Houston’s loss to the Lakers in Game 3 due to “personal reasons,” but <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-league-investigating-danuel-house-jr-for-allegedly-allowing-female-testing-official-into-hotel-room-132505291.html">Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports</a> reported his status was in doubt due to the investigation.</p><p>It would be a huge loss for the Rockets if House were ruled out for the remainder of the series.</p><p>The 27-year-old is hardly the team’s most prolific offensive player, but he had been coming off a strong performance in Game 2, scoring 13 points for the Rockets while shooting 3-for-7 from the field and also grabbing five rebounds.</p><p>House also had a productive run of games during the Rockets’ first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored at least 15 points in each contest between Game 2 and Game 4, going 10-for-24 from beyond the arc during that stretch.</p><p>The Rockets are struggling to find answers offensively against the Lakers.</p><p>Los Angeles has begun doubling James Harden and daring Russell Westbrook to beat them from the perimeter. Without House on the floor, the Rockets lack another floor-spacing wing also capable of rebounding and competing on the defensive end of the floor.</p><p>It remains to be seen whether House will be available for the Rockets, though D’Antoni seems understandably peeved by the situation.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.

She exited the hotel in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and the league cited early data points that implicated two members of the Rockets, House and Tyson Chandler, sources said.When the woman was questioned by NBA security, she did not implicate House’s name and it is uncertain whether she remains on campus, sources said. She claimed to have contact with Chandler and another player, not named House, according to sources.According to sources, the Rockets’ entire team had to enter a quarantine period on Tuesday due to the potential exposure. Those sources said there appears to be no video connecting House and the woman; only the flagging of her entering and leaving the hotel, and the possibility of a door opening and closing to match those timelines. The NBA has informed involved parties that it has circumstantial evidence implicating House.House has vehemently denied that he engaged in any improper contact with the staffer.</blockquote><p>House, who is in league-mandated quarantine, is averaging 11.4 points and shooting 36 percent from 3-point range in nine playoff games inside the NBA’s bubble complex. His status for Game 4 is now in question. He missed Game 3 for what was cited as “personal reasons.”</p><p>The Rockets. who trail the Lakers 2-1 in their series after Tuesday night’s 112-102 loss, are the only team staying at the Grand Floridian hotel where this alleged incident occurred. The Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Raptors, Clippers and Nuggets are all staying at the Gran Destino tower, which is nearby.</p><p>Game 4 between the Rockets and Lakers is scheduled to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday night, with TNT having live broadcast coverage.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
