Danuel House has appeared in 25 games this season for the Rockets. The 25-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 45.8 percent from the field, 39.0 percent from beyond the arc and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line.
House hasn't played for Houston since Jan. 14. He scored 15 points against the Memphis Grizzlies in 35 minutes of action. The Texas native is a good shooter, something the Rockets really value.
House, by the way, is driving back to Houston right now. "He wants to be there," House's agent Raymond Brothers said. "It's fantastic. He's focused on trying to win a title right now. That's all he wants to do, try to help Houston win.."

Houston is 42-25 on the season, which is good for third place in the Western Conference standings. It's been an amazing turnaround for the Rockets, who were in the 14th spot in the West at one point in the season. Reigning MVP James Harden has put the team on his broad shoulder and guided the team up the Western Conference standings.
The Rockets host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. The team is currently on a nine-game winning streak.
