Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are looking to extend their win streak to five games as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the finale of the first half of their long road trip.

The Rockets have a stretch of eight road games in nine contests, and this marks the fourth matchup in that segment of time. Houston has walked away victorious against some stiff competition in the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks so far on the road trip, and things won't let up tonight against the Grizzlies.

Though the Rockets have had success against the Grizzlies, winning each of the last three meetings, Memphis comes into the game after being blown out by the New York Knicks on Monday night, so the team is scorned and itching to bounce back with the Rockets in their path.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of tonight's game.
