Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs host the Houston Rockets in a Texas rivalry game.
The San Antonio Spurs started off the season with a tough loss to the defending western conference champions. They introduced a whole new look with Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes in the starting lineup alongside Victor Wembanyama, Jeremy Sochan and sharp-shooter Julian Champagnie. San Antonio is without Devin Vassell (foot) to start the season, leaving a 19.5 points per game void from last season. They host a fellow Texas team in the Houston Rockets (1-1) who split their first two games of the regular season heading into this game. The matchup between Wembanyama and Houston’s Alperen Sengun has the potential to be one of the biggest in the league for years to come.
