Without still knowing the extent of Marreon Jackson's Knee Injury, I assume he will miss some games. With that said, a major factor in the Rockets continued quest for a high seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament will be the play of Justin Roberts. Like Jackson, we will need Roberts to run the point to take that pressure off Jaelan Sanford who is thriving at the Shooting Guard position this year. If he can hit the occasional jumper, make his foul shots like last night, limit his turnovers, and play solid D, we should be fine and not have to play Sanford at the point for extended periods of time. Anyways, let's hope for the best for Jackson and that he can come back healthy to play sometime this season as he has been a surprise key contributor to the Rockets success.

He averages about one TO every 38 minutes. Navi’s TO per minute is better because he rarely handles the ball. No one else is close. We’ve had guys have 6 TOs in a game. Roberts has six on the year. Defense will be a problem but we could have worse backups.

It would be good for Rose to get some playing time.
