Houston at Minnesota

Interesting game here. The Rockets have finally started to play well after struggling in the early part of the season, and the Wolves continue to be a disappointment, unable to get over the hump to be a very good NBA team on a nightly basis. The Wolves enter this game having dropped their last three ballgames and have not covered in their last four. This is a tale of two very different teams. The Rockets have been playing well since McGrady picked up his game. He went for 34 the other night and will have another big game here. Sam Cassell left the game the other night after hurting his shoulder. He is questionable here and even if he plays, he'll have a tough go of it with the shoulder. Three stars on the Rockets.
