Well, the Houston Rockets control their own fate.

With two more losses, the Rockets will once again have the worst record in the league and once again have a guaranteed top 5 pick. While we’ll delve into draft prospects as draft coverage ramps up, it’s nice to know that if there’s five top tier players (most draftniks think there’s a clear top 4, and then a couple of solid candidates for the fifth pick), the Rockets will get one of them.

The Toronto Raptors started 14-17. They seemed headed to another disapp Andrew Wiggins ointing season like their 27-45 campaign of 2020- NBA Baby Clothing 21. But they have turned it around. They’re 47-33 and might get the Phi NBA Collectibles ladelphia 7 luka doncic jersey white 6ers in the first NBA Auto Accessories round. Oh, and they just beat the Sixers last NBA Bobbleheads night.
