Smile Re: Houston Dec 23 6PM

Houston is at Chicago tonight.

McGrady was injured during the week.

Quote:

Despite missing their top scorer, the Houston Rockets came up just short against one of the best teams in the Western Conference in their last game. The Rockets hope to have Tracy McGrady back on Saturday when they try to avoid losing their fourth straight game as they visit the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.


McGrady hurt his left knee in the first half of Houston's 97-92 loss to Orlando on Wednesday, and finished with a season-low three points on 1-of-10 shooting in 18 minutes. The Rockets (12-14) captain was diagnosed with a sore left knee and held out of Thursday's game against Denver, giving him extra time to recover for this contest.


McGrady is averaging team highs of 23.8 points and 5.2 assists, and he has been instrumental to Houston's success.


Since McGrady joined the club before the 2004-05 season, the Rockets are 11-42 when the two-time scoring champ doesn't play
We shouldn't have too much trouble with them, especially if McGrady is out.
