The Washington Wizards travel to Houston on Friday night to take on Kyle Lowry and the Rockets. The game starts at 8 pm and can be seen on CSN.

The Rockets are only two games over .500 at 10-8, but they play in the Western Conference which is way more difficult than the Easter Conference that the Wizards play in. They already beat the Wizards 114-106 a few weeks ago. But John Wall had a career high 38 points, so maybe he likes the way the play defense. If he can continue to play well against a team that will surely have their defense focused on him, that would be a good sign of progress.
