For the third time in the last week alone, the Houston Rockets will take on an elite team in the Western Conference when they do battle versus the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. Thus far, San Antonio has looked the part of a bona fide championship contender amid big man Victor Wembanyama’s third NBA season.
But the Rockets have been nearly unbeatable at home up to this point in the 2025-26 regular season, and the friendly confines of Toyota Center will propel them to an impressive victory over one of the West’s juggernauts.
