San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs (0-1) and Houston Rockets (0-1) are each hoping to grab their first win of the season tonight when the two teams face off against one another at Frost Bank Center.

The Spurs narrowly fell 126-119 to the other Texas team, the Dallas Mavericks, in their home opener on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Rockets fell by 30 points to the Orlando Magic in a blowout.

The Spurs are favored in this one, but the Rockets are capable of grabbing a win. The two teams split both contests a week ago when Houston visited San Antonio in the preseason. Granted, the Spurs won the game where Victor Wembanyama was active and the No. 1 overall pick will play in his second NBA game on Friday night.

Houston will be tasked with trying to contain Wembanyama and keep him out of the paint, something the team did not do a good job of in Orlando. If the Spurs can capitalize, they could come out of this one victorious.

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