The NBA preseason game between the Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets will take place at Bankers Life Fieldhouse (Indianapolis) on Friday, October 14 at 7:00 PM ET.
Tonight in Indiana, the Houston Rockets play a team that competes for the lottery. The Rockets are still without Jabari Smith Jr. because they are being cautious with the third-overall pick. With the sixth overall choice, the Pacers selected Arizona native Bennedict Mathurin. In their most recent preseason game against the New York Knicks, he scored 27 points. He provides what they think will be the nucleus of a successful reconstruction together with Tyrese Haliburton.
The Rockets have suffered their first preseason defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat. Although none of these games really count, Houston’s defense appears to be going to let them down a lot this season. The preseason concludes with this game before the games begin to count starting the next week. On Wednesday, the Rockets will begin their regular season at Atlanta.
