On April 12, 2026, the Houston Rockets will host the Memphis Grizzlies in a matchup that lacks playoff implications for both teams. The Rockets, with a record of 51-30, have already secured their playoff spot and are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference. They will rest several starters, including Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun, following a recent 136-132 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, which ended their eight-game winning streak. In contrast, the Grizzlies are struggling with a 25-56 record and have been eliminated from playoff contention, suffering a humiliating 147-101 defeat against the Utah Jazz in their last outing. Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, with the Grizzlies missing nearly their entire roster. The game will air at 7:30 p.m. CT on Space City Home Network.
