Houston (2-4) at Minnesota (3-3), 8:00 pm EST

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Houston Rockets hope to get a complete effort from Tracy McGrady when they continue a five-game homestand Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

McGrady returned early from back spasms to lead the Rockets to a 99-91 victory over New Jersey on Saturday but was limited Sunday in Boston as Houston fell, 102-82.

In 27 minutes, McGrady scored just 14 points and had four turnovers as the Rockets fell to 1-2 on the road trip with their most lopsided loss this season.

Houston's previous three setbacks came by a total of 13 points.

Tuesday's contest marks the first of three straight at home for the Timberwolves, who dropped a 102-91 decision Sunday in Denver.

Wally Szczerbiak scored 20 points and Kevin Garnett had 19 for Minnesota. Rookie Rashad McCants had his finest effort as a pro with 14 points, one steal and one block in 18 minutes.
