One of the Houston Rockets<\/a>‘ penultimate games in the month of January is a Wednesday night bout versus the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>, who look like a new and improved squad compared to last season. After San Antonio missed out on the 2025 NBA Playoffs entirely, it’s on track to not only qualify but hold home-court advantage in the first round and beyond.<\/p>\n

Fans should anticipate a hotly contested back-and-forth affair between the two Texas-based squads, but the fact that it’s a home game for the Rockets will prove to be the deciding factor in the final outcome, as Houston will pull away late.<\/p>\n

Records, standing, and streaks\"Jan<\/p>\n

At present, the Rockets have a 28-16 record, which puts them in the Western Conference standings’ fourth-place slot.<\/p>\n

The Spurs are the owners of a 31-15 record, good enough for second in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
