While the Houston Rockets are likely to be without two key players, the Minnesota Timberwolves missing one could make the bigger difference Saturday night. Though the Rockets are banged up and the deal for Kevin Martin hasn’t worked out well, they have a good shot at winning their 11th straight over the Timberwolves considering Al Jefferson won’t take the court. The only time Houston has been below .500 came after an opening-night loss, but it will happen again Saturday if the Rockets fall for the ninth time in 12 games. They’ve dropped five of seven since acquiring Martin from Sacramento even though he’s averaged 21.9 points following the trade. Maybe playing a bigger role in Houston’s downfall is the absences of Trevor Ariza and Kyle Lowry.

That duo has accounted for 24.2 points, 8.3 assists and 9.6 rebounds per game. Ariza has missed the last five with a hip pointer, Lowry has sat out 10 straight with a sprained ankle and coach Rick Adelman doesn’t expect either player to return until next week. He also mentioned Lowry’s absence has limited the rest given to starting point guard Aaron Brooks, something that could be a problem if this game is anything like the last one between these teams.
