The Rockets-Spurs game tips at 7:30 p.m. CST and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
This will be the third meeting between in-state rivals Houston and San Antonio in barely over three weeks. The road team won each of the first two meetings, with Houston winning at AT&T Center on Jan. 12 and the Spurs returning the favor at Toyota Center on Jan. 25. If that trend holds, it could benefit the visiting Rockets on Friday night.
Kevin Porter Jr. has been excellent at point guard for Houston in recent weeks, but the swing variable could be Jalen Green. The rookie shooting guard struggled mightily in last week’s loss at San Antonio, but he was very good in Wednesday’s home win over Cleveland. Should that form continue, it would give the Rockets (15-36) a much better chance.
The key variable for the Spurs (19-34) is the health of rising star Dejounte Murray, who was clearly their best player in both games against the Rockets. The young guard sat out Thursday’s loss to Miami with a left wrist sprain, but he was listed as questionable going in — which indicates that he is not far away. His return would offer a huge boost.
#Rockets new team plane vibes 🔥
