The San Antonio Spurs play the Houston Rockets on Monday. Tipoff is at 8:00 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on NBA TV, or you can listen to the radio broadcast via the links provided below.
Houston (53-37) appears likely to head into the postseason as the Western Conference's fourth or fifth seed. They currently sit No. 4 in the West with a half-game lead over No. 5 Portland and two more games to go, including Monday's contest against San Antonio.
The Rockets snapped a two-game losing streak on Saturday with a 111-104 win against New Orleans, helping their chances of opening the first round of the playoffs at home.
"We needed this win more than anything," Rockets star James Harden said, via ESPN.
Rockets center Dwight Howard and guard Patrick Beverley appear to be getting healthy in time for the postseason. They both missed the last eight games with injuries before returning on Saturday.
"They both said they were feeling fine and wanted to win the game and we needed that win," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said.
San Antonio (62-18), meanwhile, secured home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with their 112-104 win against the Phoenix Suns.
"It's a big plus," Spurs guard Danny Green said. "It's not something we were focused on, but we know it will help us. We'll be at home for most of the playoffs. The biggest thing for us is to stay healthy and to build chemistry. Winning games in the process helps and we get home-court advantage. That's just the extra bonus for us."
The Spurs have the best record in the NBA and comfortably sit atop the Western Conference.
Although San Antonio is a favorite to reach the conference final, they've struggled this season against Houston. The Rockets are 3-0 against the Spurs this season and can complete the season sweep on Monday with a win.
