Timberwolves vs. Rockets: Game Preview, Betting Odds, How to Watch

The Houston Rockets are back in action after beating the New Orleans Pelicans to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.
The Wolves last played on Christmas Day, where they upset the Dallas Mavericks in a rematch of last year's Western Conference Finals.
The Rockets hope to get to where the Wolves were last year and even beyond, so the fact that they are in the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference is a great sign of what could be on the horizon for this young Houston team.
