Chris Paul Set To Return For Houston
The Houston Rockets play host to the Orlando Magic, at Toyota Center on Sunday evening.

This marks the second game of a three-game home stand for the Rockets (28-20), which they kicked off with an impressive win over the Raptors on Friday. The Rockets have won three of their last four games at home, where they are 18-7 this season. They have won six of their last 10 games overall, including their last two in a row. The Rockets are expecting the return of Chris Paul to the lineup, after he missed over a month's action due to a hamstring injury. However, to the surprise of many, the Rockets held just fine without Paul in the lineup, as James Harden mounted one of the best scoring streaks in NBA history. Harden's streak of fantastic play continues, as he is averaging 45.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last 10 games. The Rockets also got another boost recently, as they added Kenneth Faried to their roster. Faried came up big in the Rockets' win over the Raptors and has already proven to be a solid fit.

Meanwhile, the Magic (20-29) have dropped five of their last six games, including their last two in a row. The Magic have dropped six of their last seven road games, and are 8-15 on the road this season. The Magic are averaging 104.1 points per game, which is fourth lowest in the league, but are doing a decent job on the defensive end, where they are holding opponents to 107.7 points per game, which is eighth lowest in the league. Nikola Vucevic has been the Magic's best player so far this season, averaging 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. Aaron Gordon finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in Orlando's most recent contest, and is averaging 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
