17-31 @ 30-20 Saturday, February 7th 8:30 pm ET Toyota Center (Houston, TX) Projected Starters PG SG SF PF C X Factor: Start Off Strong- The Wolves have struggled mightily starting off strong against teams, which was most evident against the Hawks a few nights ago, where they started off shooting under 30% from the field, and couldn't come all the way back. They have improved a lot on finishing the game well down the stretch, but they need to get that opening stage of the game down. Projected Starters PG SG SF PF C X Factor: Rebound The Basketball- The Rockets are going to be facing up against one of, if not the best rebounding duo in the NBA in Al Jefferson and Kevin Love. While Yao Ming is tall as can be, he is not known for his rebounding and will have to work a little harder on the glass than he normally does if they want second chances, and to keep those same second chance opportunities away from the Wolves. Scola is a good rebounder, but will still need to work just a little harder on the glass than normally. Key Matchup
