The Houston Rockets take on the San Antonio Spurs for the third time in as many weeks. The road team has won the previous two contests, so the Rockets should be the favorites tonight (they aren’t).
The Spurs lost at home to the Miami Heat last night in a makeup game from December 29. That puts San Antonio on a back-to-back and Houston coming in off a huge win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. What will the young kids do for an encore?
The Spurs had several players out due to various ailments last night.
