Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More
The Houston Rockets (29-35) will play in the final game of a three-game road trip on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs (14-51) in the Frost Bank Center. The Rockets will be looking to build off of their last win.
The team was able to get the win in their last game against the Sacramento Kings despite a scary injury to star center Alperen Sengun. The Rockets survived a near triple-double performance from Kings center Domantas Sabonis due to some solid play from a number of its players.
Fred VanVleet finished as the team's leading scorer with 22 points, and he also tallied nine assists and two steals. Rookies Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson continue to be good off the bench, both finishing with double-digits and contributing on the boards.
The team will need some of these guys to step up even more in the absence of Sengun, especially against a player that can take over a game like Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs have lost eight of their last 11 games, and the Rockets will be looking to use their momentum to carry them through the game, despite the tough circumstances.
