Houston Rockets – Want a Big Man Next to James Harden & Jeremy Lin
The strength of the Houston Rockets this season (34-30, 7th in the Western Conference) has been the play of their back-court with James Harden getting most of the accolades next to Jeremy Lin, but they want to add a bit more strength and firepower down low, hoping to succeed in pursuing after Dwight Howard, or settling for Josh Smith and Andrew Bynum as the alternatives.

Longest Active Double-Figure Scoring Streaks in the NBA
As the Miami Heat picked up their 16th consecutive victory, LeBron James notched his 200th consecutive game for the Miami Heat with 10 points or more, extending his franchise record.

Best & Worst Scorers in the NBA
What makes the best scorer in the NBA? Is it simply the points? Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony are leading that battle, but LeBron James and James Harden aren’t too far behind, and James is the best or second best from that group, because shooting ratios and volume scoring also come into consideration.
