The Houston Rockets are back in the playoffs for the first time in five years, where they will face a familiar foe in the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets are very different from the last time they were in the playoffs, as only Jeff Green remains from Houston's last postseason team. This time around, Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun, Steven Adams, Jabari Smith Jr.
and Tari Eason will be the primary players competing against the Warriors in hopes of getting the Rockets over the hump against their bitter rival. Meanwhile, the Warriors are somewhat the same apart from Jimmy Butler entering the mix after a trade from the Miami Heat this season. He'll join Draymond Green and Stephen Curry as Golden State looks to get past Houston in the playoffs for the fifth time since 2015.
