NBA Power Rankings 2012: Rockets Land At No. 17

The Houston Rockets are in the lesser half of the latest NBA Power Rankings from SB Nation's Tom Ziller. But the good news is that the team is getting hot at the right time and can move up in the Western Conference standings very easily in the next few weeks if they keep it up. Currently, they're contending with the Denver Nuggets in the middle of the pack in both rankings, so it should be interesting to watch Kevin McHale's crew move forward. Ziller writes:

Given how set on the playoffs the Rockets' front office and coach Kevin McHale have been, it'd be too bad for untimely illness to Kyle Lowry and a bizarre little Kevin Martin subplot ruined the run. This team is a bit mystical in its creation, and just weird enough to be something to look forward to seeing in May.

Ziller is right that it has been an interesting to season, to say the least, for Houston, but anything is possible come playof time. The talent is here to surprise. The question is whether they can string something together.

Kyle Lowry Injury Update: Rockets Point Guard Slowly Coming Back From Bacterial Infection

This has been a season to forget for Houston Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry. From an ankle injury to the current bacterial infection he’s fighting, he’s had a hard time staying on the court for any prolonged period. While his current battle is a slow going one, Jonathan Feigen reports that he’s having at least some progress.

After three days of tests, guard Kyle Lowry is progressing in his treatment from a bacterial infection on schedule but remains far from a return to workouts, much less games. Lowry is scheduled to be checked again in eight to 10 days but is progressing well enough that there will not be a change in the treatment, as was possible when he was fighting infection.

Lowry is averaging 15.9 points and 7.2 on the season, both career highs despite his health concerns.
