Garen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. and House have all missed several consecutive games with injuries due to injury problems, and Wood has also been put on the injury list due to tendonitis in his left knee, and he is suspicious of playing against the Cavaliers. If Wood is absent, the Rockets can only use more small lineups, and the opposite Cavaliers have a three-tower press, the two sides will start a contest of speed and height, facing the four-game cavaliers, can the Rockets give a tough counterattack?
8:00 Eagles vs Magic

Trae Young is the NBA's top scorer who has scored 12 30+ times this season, ranking first in the league. Magic's Kerr Anthony averaged 20.5 points per game, making him the hottest player to improve, and the PK of the two defenders will be the focus.
