Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard and Memphis Grizzlies big man Marc Gasol have been named the Eastern and Western Conference players of the week, respectively, for games played January 16 through 22. Howard averaged 19.5 points, 18.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.8 blocks as the Magic won three of four games.

Pau Gasol outplayed his brother, Memphis center Marc Gasol, and also got in touch with his inner Magic Johnson, flipping a behind-the-back pass on a fastbreak to Bynum for a layup. Of course, Gasol learned it from smooth-passing Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio, right? "No, he got his moves from me," Gasol countered with a smile. Pau had 13 points and 15 rebounds. Marc missed all nine of his shots and had two points and 11 rebounds. In the end, the Lakers had to outlast Memphis during a ragged fourth quarter in which they committed 10 turnovers and were outscored, 14-12. "That's the downside," Pau Gasol said. "We kept them in the game by being careless with the ball." Los Angeles Times

The Rockets will offer the maximum contract they can to Gasol, worth $55 million over four years, but the pursuit of Gasol is a longshot because he is a restricted free agent. If he signs a Rockets offer sheet, the Grizzlies would have three days to match the offer to keep him and Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley told NBA.com on Sunday that his team would match the offer. "I don't know what the offer is, but you got to try," said Rockets guard Kyle Lowry, who was in Memphis in Marc Gasol's rookie season. "We need a center. I love Marc. He's my guy." Houston Chronicle
