The Rockets' Twitter account unveiled its picks for the top home games on the team's schedule this season.

The Houston Rockets might be in the rebuilding stages, but there’s no shortage of exciting talent on the roster headed into the 2022-23 season.

This makes their 82-game slate full of games that could see some fireworks despite the fact that many will be picking the Rockets to finish near the bottom of the standing in the Western Conference.

The Rockets’ official Twitter account gave its picks Monday for the top 10 “must-see” home matchups for the upcoming season, providing a glimpse of which games could draw the biggest crowds to Toyota Center.
