Before the full schedule is released, two marquee dates for the Rockets have leaked.
The Rockets' one-year hiatus from a Christmas Day game will end in 2015 when they host the San Antonio Spurs.
According to multiple reports, the reigning Southwest Division champs will take on their rival on Dec. 25 in one of the evening games. The other game from the schedule that leaked is opening night, when the Rockets will take on the Nuggets.
The first game of the season looks to be one of the typical juicy matchups the NBA likes to put in big spots, with a key player against his former team.
