The Houston Rockets are well-rested and ready to go to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies for the second time in as many games.

The Rockets were set to play on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks following their win on Thursday against the Grizzlies, but an ice storm postponed the contest, giving Houston some extra rest.

Now, they have to defend home court as they have a chance to win the season series against the Grizzlies in the third meeting of the year between the two teams.
