The Houston Rockets will sit on the couch in anticipation as the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors compete in the first game of the Play-In Tournament for the Western Conference.

The winner of the game between the Grizzlies and Warriors will qualify for the playoffs, clinch the No. 7 seed and face the Rockets in a first-round series.

The Rockets beat the Grizzlies in three of their four meetings earlier this season, while Houston only claimed victory twice against Golden State out of five times, so there might be more of a desire for Memphis to win.

That being said, the opportunity to face the Warriors in the playoffs again would be a big test for the Rockets that could get them settled for the rest of the postseason.
