In this story:

The Houston Rockets are back in action tonight as they host the New York Knicks at Toyota Center.

The Rockets are looking to get the bad taste out of their mouths from Saturday night's loss at home in overtime against the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are hoping to extend their win streak to three games. Jalen Brunson scored 36 points in the team's latest win back on Friday against the Detroit Pistons.

The game has a different start time of 7:45 instead of the usual 7:00 because the league has all 30 teams playing as part of its campaign to encourage citizens to vote for Election Day on Tuesday.
