In this story:

HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets (9-21) will attempt to end their three-game losing skid Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic (11-21) inside the Toyota Center.

The last time the two parties played against each other, the Magic recorded a 134-127 win over the Rockets. Jalen Green led the way with 34 points, while K.J. Martin added 24 points in the win.

"I liked both ends from him [Martin]," coach Stephen Silas said. "Some of the blocks he had were amazing plays. He is a quick jumper. He reads his reads early. He steps up as a helper on defense. And then there are the threes. He plays in a way that helps everyone gets the ball moving."

For the Rockets to avoid another disappointing loss to the Magic, Houston must improve their ball movement and energy, which led to a 124-105 loss to the San Antonio Spurs Monday night.

"We were playing streetball," Jalen Green said. "We were not playing together anymore. We did not have any fight."
