What happened: The game is set for Moody Center and will be Houston's second contest of the 2026-27 regular season. It follows Knicks at Celtics in the season's first NBA on Prime doubleheader.
Why it matters: The venue extends San Antonio's practice of staging select home games in Austin. Houston gets a national platform for its second game.
By the numbers: Oct. 23: Houston's second game; two-game Prime slate; one Spurs home date in Austin.
What to watch: Attention turns to each team's opening-night matchup before the Oct. 23 meeting.
