The Brooklyn Nets (0-3) are beginning the 2025-26 NBA season on the wrong foot as they are on a three-game losing streak following 20-point deficits in each of those games. Brooklyn’s next chance to win their first game of the season will come at Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets (0-2) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game following a 118-107 loss at Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday despite coming back from a 26-point deficit to make the fourth quarter interesting. Cam Thomas led the way for Brooklyn as he dropped 40 points, but Wembanyama’s 31 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks were too much for the Nets to overcome.

The Rockets enter this matchup after a 115-111 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday in which Houston was unable to win their first game of the season despite getting 37 points and three steals from Durant. As of this writing, the Rockets are still experimenting with their “tall-ball” lineup so expect to see a lot of Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams in the game at the same time.

Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
