Everyone that thought the Houston Rockets (35-21) would collapse after Tracy McGrady got injured had better think again. The Rockets will go for their season-high fifth straight win on Tuesday in NBA odds as they host the Portland Trail Blazers (35-20) at 8:35pm EST. McGrady missed four of those wins and he will not play again this season. “It’s a good thing that we know – this is who we have, this is who we are,” Houston’s Luis Scola said. “Now, everybody can take a role, whatever it is, and it’s a good thing. I wish we could have everybody healthy. But this is who we have now, and we have to take it.” NBA odds makers at SBGGlobal have the Rockets -4.5 point favorites at home in NBA odds against the Trail Blazers. The Rockets are actually 15-6 this season without McGrady in the lineup. The Rockets are also dealing with the loss of guard Rafer Alston who was traded to Orlando last week. Aaron Brooks has moved into the starting spot and he has averaged 13 points, 5.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds in two games as the starter. The Rockets have been getting strong play out of Ron Artest and Yao Ming lately. Artest is averaging 20 points in his last four games while Yao is averaging 21.3 points and 12.5 rebounds during that time. Earlier this season the Blazers pulled out a heart-stopping win over the Rockets as Brandon Roy hit a 30-footer at the buzzer to give Portland a 101-99 win. Portland has won eight straight at home but they have lost three straight on the road.
