After the MLK Day marathon yesterday, the NBA program is a little lighter this Tuesday but no less interesting: the Sixers face the Suns early in the night, before a very spicy Texas derby between the Spurs and the Rockets.
The evening NBA program
- 1h : Sixers – Suns
- 2h : Bulls – Clippers
- 2h : Rockets – Spurs
- 3h : Jazz – Timberwolves
- 4h : Nuggets – Lakers
- 4h : Warriors – Raptors
- 4h : Kings – Heat
The poster not to be missed: Rockets – Spurs
A derby is always a separate match, even more so between two Texan teams who play at the top of the table in the Wild Wild West.
The Houston Rockets – on two consecutive victories – welcome the San Antonio Spurs, only second in the West. The opportunity to see Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun and Co. rub shoulders with Victor Wembanyama’s gang, who we hope to see on the field knowing that it is a back-to-back for San Antonio.
This is the second confrontation of the season between the Rockets and the Spurs, the first having been won by San Antonio in early November.
