The Houston Rockets will find out in Monday night's NBA Draft Lottery exactly where their first-round pick, which they're getting from the Phoenix Suns, will fall. The pick enters the lottery at the No.

The Boston Celtics are still alive in the playoffs, but things aren't going to get better with them down 3-1 and Jayson Tatum out for the remainder of the postseason because of an Achilles injury.

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka weighed in on VanVleet's free agency, according to an article from HoopsHype's Mike Scotto.
