Out of conference play
The non-conference portion of the schedule is always the most difficult to put together, as it is subject to change up until the season starts However, we are very pleased with how our out of conference play turned out. We have some tough games, but we also have some winnable games. We think this will be a great test for our team before we head into conference play
Some of the highlights of our out of Conference Schedule include a Home game against UCLA, a road game against Duke, and a neutral site game against Michigan State We are also excited to participate in the Maui Invitational, where we will play some of the best teams in the country.

Predictions
The Houston Rockets have released their schedule for the 2017-2018 season, and it looks like they might have a tough road ahead if they want to make it back to the NBA Finals Here are some predictions for how the team will fare this season.
The Rockets will start the season off strong, with wins in their first five games against the Sacramento Kings Los Angeles Clippers Portland Trail Blazers New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks However, they will then hit a bit of a rough patch when they face off against the Golden State Warriors San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma City Thunder in three consecutive games. They will lose all three of these games, but will Bounce Back with wins against the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers
In December, the Rockets will go on a bit of a roller coaster ride, alternating between winning and losing streaks. They will start off with four straight losses to the Warriors, Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers However, they will then turn things around with four straight wins against the Pelicans, Mavericks, Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets After that, they will lose two more games to the Thunder and Warriors before finishing off the month with four consecutive wins against the Lakers (twice), Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic
All in all, I predict that the Houston Rockets will have a record of 48-34 by the end of the regular season They will be seeded fourth in the Western Conference playoffs and will most likely face off against either the Spurs or Thunder in the first round.
