The Timberwolves have lost 2 in a row and they are without one of their best players with PG Ricky Rubio out with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n The Rockets were dealt their first loss of the season in their last game and the main reason was that C Dwight Howard was out with an illness. He is slated to go in this game and Houston needs him, as in the loss to the Warriors the Rockets shot a season low 34.9% from the floor and they were dominated in the paint being outscored 56-32.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n James Harden is the 3rd leading scorer in the NBA and in his last 3 games facing Minnesota he is averaging nearly 30 ppg.<\/p>\n Howard\u2019s offense is needed tonight, but hs D may be more important. The Rockets have not allowed an opponent to score over 100 points this season and they rank 2nd in the league in opponents\u2019 points allowed.<\/p>\n Kevin Martin is the leading scorer for Minnesota at 19.6 ppg, but has to play better than in the last game facing the Heat when he only hit 2 field goals and finished with 8 points.<\/p>\n Nikola Pekovic has played well as the C for Minnesota averaging 15 ppg and 8.5 ppg and he has the unenviable task of guarding Howard and he cannot let the Houston C dominate the lane.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Timberwolves won the last game between these 2 teams, which snapped their 4 game losing streak against them.<\/p>\n * Houston is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Rockets are banged up with 2 starters out, but with Howard and Harden will carry the Rockets to the win and they will also cover in Mexico City tonight.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63706&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looking for NBA Picks?
