The NBA analyst believes the Houston Rockets will see a slight win-total increase.
What kind of season are the Houston Rockets in for during the 2024-25 campaign? The only real roster change they made was the addition of Reed Sheppard, who will elevate the team's play in a sixth man role.
"One of last season's breakouts, the Houston Rockets smashed their 2023-24 over-under by nine wins," Bailey wrote. "And in 2024-25, on top of bringing back a loaded young core that includes Alperen Şengün, Jabari Smith Jr., Jalen Green, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, Houston has a bona fide Rookie of the Year contender in Reed Sheppard."
"On internal development alone, a three-win improvement almost seems like an overly conservative estimate for this group. But here again, we're dealing with the Western Conference," Bailey continued. "The Rockets could look meaningfully better in 2024-25 and still finish with a win total in the high 30s. Improvement in the NBA isn't always linear, particularly in terms of winning percentage.
