Meanwhile, the Rockets have also secured their place in the playoffs having recorded 42 victories so far in the regular campaign.
They are scheduled to lock horns with an in-form San Antonio Spurs side at the Toyota Center on August 11.
Rockets duo of Russell Westbrook and James Harden became the first teammates in NBA history to average 30+ points and 5+ assists per game in February 2020.

They are two-time NBA championship winners having clinched the most prestigious basketball club competition in the world twice in 1994 and 1995.
Harden is looking forward to the playoffs as the shooting guard looks to inspire the Rockets to their third NBA championship title this season.
“We don’t have any fans, so it’s you versus us and we’re going to have to figure it out,” Harden said on Waco Tribune-Herald.
“If you’re fourth seed, fifth seed, sixth seed, it doesn’t really matter. For us, it’s about being in shape and making sure that our offense and our defense are crispy and we’re all on the same page.”
