Some of the busiest players of the Rockets preseason will take the final night of the preseason schedule off tonight.
James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Eric Gordon and Clint Capela did not make the trip to San Antonio, leaving Ryan Anderson as the only Rockets starter expected to play against the Spurs.
Guard Pat Beverley is out while considering treatment options for his sore left knee.
Guard Pablo Prigioni (shoulder) and center Nene are expected to return for the final preseason game after sitting out Wednesday in Dallas.
"The way the schedule was, China and everything else, it was a good time to give them a break," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said.
