What HOU allows by positionPoints, rebounds, assists and threes this defense has allowed to guards, forwards and centers a game, its place among the league's defenses (counted from whichever end is nearer) and how far that sits from the average defense. Soft or Tough: in the league's top or bottom third and 10%+ from the average defense. Leans: 5%+ from it. Average: closer than that. The window runs back into last season early in a year.

Shot typesHistory
2026–27, 11 games · points a game by shot type · scores: #1 = the most; allows: highest number = softest
| Type | HOU scores | HOU allows |
|---|---|---|
| Spot-up jumpers | 30.9 #4 | 21.4 #3 |
| Free throws | 20.3 #11 | 15.1 #2 |
| Drives & floaters | 15.6 #27 | 17.8 #10 |

| Post-ups & turnarounds | 6.2 #6 | 5.8 #25 |
| Other at the rim | 4.5 #2 | 2.4 #9 |
From play-by-play: transition = the first shot within 7 seconds of a defensive rebound, turnover or opponent score; putback = within 3 seconds of the team's own offensive rebound; the rest by the shot label (spot-up = the plain jump shot). Free throws from the box score. Green marks a strength (scores a lot, or allows little), red a weakness; hover a number for the league average. An approximation of play types, not tracking data.
