The Rockets pulled a rabbit out of their hats on Monday night in OT vs. the depleted Sixers to stretch the win streak to seven, but it hasn't been easy lately. Prior to the Philly escape, the Rockets were pushed to the wall by the Bulls, and two of the wins in the current uptick came vs. lowly New Orleans. Another win in the streak came at home vs. Orlando (97-84) on March 10 when the Magic shot only 32.6% from the floor, but Jamahl Mosely's team looks to be rediscovering a bit of mojo with recent wins at Milwaukee and Cleveland. Paolo Banchero shared the scoring load with Franz Wagner and three others who scored double-digits vs. the Cavs. Play Magic.

Tari Eason has stepped in for Amen Thompson and has played well for the Rockets. He’s been especially impressive scoring however this is a tough spot for Eason in what is a brutal matchup against Orlando. The Magic possess a top 3 defense, in addition to playing at the slowest pace in the league. Furthermore, the Magic are excellent against opposing forwards and surrender the fewest points to 3s and 4s. Lastly, Eason has some fairly drastic home vs road splits and averages nearly 2 fewer points on the road.
