The recent play of Reed Sheppard could prevent Houston from trading for another point guard at the deadline, per @JakeLFischer
"The Rockets are starting to regularly see the sort of production they hoped for from Reed Sheppard with Fred VanVleet lost for the season."
Houston has lost four of its last five games:
L, 128-108 to LA Clippers
L, 125-124 to Sacramento Kings
W, 115-101 over Denver Nuggets
L, 133-128 to NO Pelicans
L, 128-125 to Denver Nuggets
It’s not been a pretty December for the Rockets 😬
