Game 55 Raptors at Rockets

After an impressive win against the East's best team the Toronto Raptors head West to take on the Houston Rockets. It's not getting any easier for Toronto, but no one ever said it would.

• Houston sits in 4th in the West with an impressive record of 36-18. In their back court James Harden is having a remarkable season and is a serious contender for league MVP.
• The Rockets will be without All-Star center Dwight Howard as he has been sidelined since getting a bone marrow injection in his right knee earlier this month
• Houston had a little action in the most recent trade deadline, but no earth-shattering moves. Picking up Pablo Prigioni from New York and K.J. McDaniels from Philly
