Since we just played the Rockets last week I'll refer you to that game preview with the following addenda:
--The Rockets have won two straight following their three game losing streak capped off by our victory over them.
--Not surprisingly their resurgence has coincided with the return of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, both of whom are putting up impressive numbers.
--To the assessment that we don't like the Yao-Magloire matchup we must now add that we don't like the matchup of Tracy McGrady versus anyone in the building. He's carved us up this year and is capable of winning the game for them practically on his own. If he plays well our chances of emerging victorious are very small.
--Bonzi Wells will not play again this season for the Rockets, reports ESPN.com.
