The Houston Rockets will open their 2021-22 NBA regular season with Wednesday’s visit to Minnesota, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
At 17-55 and 23-49, respectively, the Rockets and Timberwolves finished 2020-21 with two of the three worst records in the Western Conference. Yet, both teams have ample young talent, and it could certainly be argued that each would have fared better last season if not for having bad luck with injuries. As such, with healthier squads and development by key prospects, both franchises hope to see better results in 2021-22.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Wednesday, Oct. 20

For Minnesota, Patrick Beverley is out for Wednesday’s game due to an NBA suspension from the 2021 playoffs, while Jordan McLaughlin (right groin strain) and Jaylen Nowell (back spasms) are questionable.
