The Houston Rockets have won five straight games and it is difficult for the league to gauge whether they will be buyers or sellers heading into the trade deadline in March.

P.J. Tucker has long believed to be available and Danuel House is also a player rival teams are looking into as a trade candidate.

"P.J. tucker, I have heard his name out there," said Brian Windhorst. "I've heard Danuel House's name. At least some teams doing some research on Danuel House, I don't know how available he is. I've heard some teams poking around on him, doing some background stuff."

Windhorst adds that the Rockets are seeking either a first round pick or three second round picks for Tucker.

"I've never heard that arithmetic done," said Windhorst. There are currently approximately 15 teams encumbered from trading a first round pick, including most of the playoff teams.

Tucker will be a free agent in the offseason.
