Rockets grounded

HOUSTON -- Tracy McGrady and Ron Artest will be sidelined tonight for the Houston Rockets, which makes things just about even on the injury front since the Lakers will be without Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic and (maybe) Lamar Odom.

T-Mac is taking two weeks off to get his surgically-repaired left knee in better shape and Artest has a stress reaction in his right ankle. So, look for former Lakers bench player Von Wafer to get lots of playing time tonight. The well-traveled Wafer (Lakers, Clippers,Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers) is averaging 14.4 points on 50 percent shooting.

"No, i wouldn't have believed it if somebody would have told me that I'd be in there doing this," Rafter told the Houston Chronicle earlier this week.
