MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Armed with each part of the "Big Three," the Houston Rockets are looking to start a nice run.

The Rockets will be aiming for their third straight win when they face the lowly Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Tracy McGrady returned to the lineup on Tuesday after sitting out a pair of games with a sprained left ankle and scored 16 points in 28 minutes against the Chicago Bulls, while Yao Ming led the way with 28 and Ron Artest added 10 in a 107-100 win.

The victory marked just the third time since the calendar turned over to 2009 that the three stars had taken the court together.

Aaron Brooks has seen his playing time increase amidst all the injuries and has responded with 40 points over the last two games. He played the entire fourth quarter in place of McGrady against the Bulls and scored nine of Houston's last 13 points.

The Grizzlies are coming off a rare win in a an offensive explosion on Monday at Washington, reaching a season-high in points in a 113-97 victory. O.J. Mayo led with 33 points while Rudy Gay added 23 and Marc Gasol totaled 22 points and 11 rebounds.

The win snapped a 12-game losing streak.
