NBA 2K18: 9 Best Teams You Should Play First
2. Houston Rockets
Last season saw the Houston Rockets dominate against some teams, with James Harden leading an impressive scoring team to relative success in the West.
Harden was only outdone by fellow all-star Russell Westbrook in race to be season MVP, but he will be back this year and with a new sidekick at his side in Chris Paul. The nine-time NBA all-star was a superb addition by the Rockets, and gives them arguably the strongest backcourt in the NBA. Granted, Houston gave up plenty of pieces to acquire the diminutive point guard, but they still have an excellent roster to call on.
Eric Gordon was sixth man of the year and won the three point contest during all-star weekend, while Ryan Anderson provides further firepower. Trevor Ariza provides experience at both ends of the court, while the impressive Nene is an excellent pick at centre.
2K fans will be salivating at the prospect of teaming up Harden and Paul though, and it is this pairing which will draw gamers into selecting the Rockets on release day.
