Kings-Rockets Preview

(AP) -- The Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings may have anticipated some early struggles with their top players injured. It's safe to say both clubs are weathering the storm better than expected.

Each coming off a close loss to one of the top teams in the NBA, the Rockets and Kings square off for the second time in nine days Saturday night in Houston.

The Rockets came into this season with stars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming each recovering from major surgery. Their top returning scorer is Luis Scola, who averaged 12.7 points in 2008-09. (MORE)
