Dwight Howard, James Harden, Jeremy Lin's Rockets to take on Damien Lillard's Blazers in West showdown
Two Western Conference powerhouse squads are set to collide as the Los Angeles Clippers (2-1) hosts the unbeaten Houston Rockets on Monday, November 4th, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Orlando Magic are reportedly open to trading former All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson for a first-round draft pick, a reliable league source disclosed on Saturday.
Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin said he's going to approach this coming season with an attack mentality, whether or not he's going to start or play off the bench.
With his starting point guard spot on the Rockets in jeopardy, an ill-timed injury to NBA All-Star Harden may be the opening Lin needs to seal his bid on the starter's role.
One of the most-talked about players that could be traded in the upcoming season is Houston Rockets center Omer Asik, who became dispensable with the arrival of superstar center Dwight Howard.
Dwight Howard is expected to regain his old form that made him the one of the best, if not the best center in the NBA, now that the superstar center has already settled in Houston.
Jeremy Lin might not be assuming the role of a primary scorer for the Houston Rockets, but the presence of Dwight Howard and James Harden could certainly put him in contention alongside Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, and Ricky Rubio as the league's top assist-dealing men next season.

The NBA's Southwest Division has been traditionally strong with presence of the Texan triumvirate that are the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. But with the emergence of the Memphis Grizzlies as the defensive powerhouse and the solid offseason acquisitions done by New Orleans Pelicans, it's not crazy to think that all five teams in the division may play deep into April this coming season.
Dwight Howard knows the Orlando Magic organization and fans were disappointed after he left the squad, but the superstar center said that he was upset with the team for allowing Tobias Harris to wear his No. 12 jersey.
Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets will try to make it two in a row against Paul George and the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in the second leg of the NBA Global Games in Asia.
Jeremy Lin was warmly welcomed by his fans in his home country as he arrived in Taiwan on Friday.
