The Houston Rockets' recent struggles can be partly attributed to the absence of veteran point guard Fred VanVleet, who missed his ninth straight game on Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz.

They'll look to turn things around Tuesday as they begin a three-game homestand against the Milwaukee Bucks. VanVleet, who practiced on Monday, is a game-time decision. In his absence, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, and Alperen Sengun have shared playmaking duties, with varying degrees of success.
