The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets complete their Texas two-step tonight at Frost Bank Center.

The two teams faced off on Monday night and the Spurs surrendered a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter to lose 99-89. However, San Antonio played without Victor Wembanyama, Tre Jones and Devin Vassell, all of whom Gregg Popovich opted to rest. Now, the Spurs have a chance to get revenge against their Southwest Division rival.

On Wednesday, all three of those guys are back in action as the Spurs inch closer to the regular season.

The Rockets were without Jalen Green and Tari Eason in Monday's contest, but there's a chance Houston could get back both young players tonight.

The Spurs are just one week away from the start of the regular season and coach Popovich hopes to establish somewhat of a rotation that can get into a rhythm when the team hosts Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on opening night.
