Probable starters: Toronto — Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Norm Powell, Luis Scola, Jonas Valanciunas. Houston — Patrick Beverley, James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Donatas Motiejunas, Dwight Howard.
Key matchup:James Harden vs. DeMar DeRozan.
Fast friends and summer workout buddies, there are plenty of similarities to their games and they always seem to go at each other hammer and tong in fourth quarters. Harden is hobbled slightly by a bad ankle, so that may work in DeRozan’s favour.
