In this story:


The Houston Rockets are getting right back at it tonight as they prepare for another game, this time against their Lone Star State rival in the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs' quest to make the Play-In Tournament took a massive hit last week when it was announced that reigning Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama would be ruled out for the year as he deals with a blood clot injury.

This means that the Spurs will have to rely on the rest of Wembanyama's supporting cast in hopes of making some noise this season. They can certainly do that tonight against the Rockets, a team coming off a physical game last night against the Milwaukee Bucks.

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