With a record of 21-10 this season, the Rockets are sitting in fourth place in the west currently. James Harden is averaging 38.1 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game, whereas Russell Westbrook is averaging 24.1 points, 7.1 assists, and 8.1 rebounds.

Harden is shooting considerably well, at a rate of 37.2 % from the three-point line, but Westbrook has a horrible shooting average from the arc (23.8%).

The perimeter shooting is still a question for the Rockets as well as the defense. They can use a player like Robert Covington, who can support both the departments. According to the report by Kelly Iko of The Athletic, Rockets have their eyes on Robert Covington.

Covington can knock the three-ball down, and thus clearing more floor space for the Rockets' two stars. He can act as a defensive wall on the perimeter and give the Rockets the required push for picking up the championship.

Rockets Get- Robert Covington
