Summary:

The Houston Rockets (4-2) are in Orlando, Florida to play their final preseason game against the Magic (2-5).

I expect the Magic to rely heavily on Glen Davis who earns a living awkwardly yet effectively throwing his girth around and Hedo Turkoglu's perimeter shot. Second year big man Nikola Vucevic is a good replacement for Ryan Anderson; both rebound well for their size and prefer to operate from 10 feet out or further on offense.

Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris are still recovering from minor injuries. Both are expected to return to practice Monday or Tuesday.

Kevin McHale has one final chance to give some of the question marks on the team some burn before the regular season goes live but the word on the street is that McHale plans to run the regular rotation.
