Clash to Watch: Rockets vs. Spurs

A derby game is always special, especially when two Texas teams are vying for dominance in the competitive Western Conference.

The Houston Rockets, riding a two-game winning streak, will host the San Antonio Spurs, who currently hold the second spot in the West. This matchup offers a chance to see stars like Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun square off against Victor Wembanyama and his team, pending his availability as the Spurs are on a back-to-back schedule.

This will be the second encounter of the season between these two teams, with San Antonio having won the first matchup in early November.

French Players in Action

  • Victor Wembanyama facing the Rockets, unless there’s a last-minute injury.
  • Nicolas Batum is also on a back-to-back against Chicago; his participation remains to be seen.
  • Rudy Gobert and Joan Beringer (Timberwolves) will play in Utah.
  • Max Raynaud will face the Heat.
