Rockets at Spurs: Saturday’s lineups, injury reports, broadcast and stream info

0

The Houston Rockets own the NBA’s worst record. The San Antonio Spurs are only two games better. The former is currently on an 11-game losing streak, while the latter only recently ended a 16-game skid, which was the worst by any team in the league this season.

In a pair of matchups that could prove pivotal in the race for 2023 NBA draft positioning, these two Western Conference cellar dwellers will meet in back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday. The first meeting comes Saturday night in San Antonio.

On paper, there are reasons for the hosts to be optimistic. The Spurs are 2-0 versus Houston this season, with those coming by an average margin of 14 points, and they enter on a two-game win streak. Devonte’ Graham has been a spark in eight games since joining the Spurs, averaging 14.0 points and 4.4 assists in 28.1 minutes.

With nothing to play for in terms of playoff positioning, expect both sides to be cautious with any injury concerns during the back-to-back. For example, the Rockets may limit minutes for starting guards Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green following recent injuries.
