The Houston Rockets will play their first game after the 2022 NBA trade deadline on Thursday versus Toronto, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
On paper, it’s a matchup of two teams headed in opposite directions, with the Raptors entering Wednesday with six straight wins and the last-place Rockets having lost seven of their last eight games, overall. But Houston will be rested and playing at home, while Toronto is on night two of a road back-to-back, which may help to somewhat mitigate that gap.
There could also be more randomness than normal if either team makes a meaningful transaction at Thursday’s deadline, since there likely won’t be an opportunity for any newly acquired players to play — considering the required process of taking physicals to finalize a trade.
