The Houston Rockets are hoping to get back to their winning ways as they return home to take on the Indiana Pacers at Toyota Center.

The Rockets saw their five-game losing streak snapped in a one-point loss on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on the second night of a back-to-back. While they lost, the Rockets played well and shouldn't look to have that as a crutch holding them back for their next set of games.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are also hoping to bounce back after losing to the 3-12 Toronto Raptors on the road. Injuries have plagued Indiana, but some players could return to the floor against Houston.
