The San Antonio Spurs are back on the road after a seven game home-stand, looking to try and build another win streak without several of their primary contributors. Lonnie Walker IV and Dejounte Murray will join LaMarcus Aldridge in absentia for this one, though both designations look to be temporary in their case.
Thankfully, it looks as if the Houston Rockets will be in the same boat with Christian Wood and John Wall also missing this edition of the I-10 corridor match-up. With the Spurs at 12-10 and the Rockets just behind them at 11-10, this could end up being a game with playoff seeding implications come March, though it seems more likely that it could end up deciding which team makes it to the postseason at all.
