With more options than he has had all season, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said he has to balance experimenting with playing time and rotations and with the immediate goals of each game.
Trevor Ariza's return from a hamstring injury and the additions of Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright give the Rockets more players than will fit in the rotation with the usual playing time. D'Antoni said he would use the remaining games this season to see how things work best.
"I want to experiment to a certain degree, but I don't want to be crazy," D'Antoni said.
