Assuming health, those could be the first appearances for newly acquired superstar Kevin Durant to play (as a Rockets player) inside Houston's home arena of Toyota Center.
Tickets for both of those home games, along with season memberships for the 2025-26 regular season, are available now at Rockets.com .
The exhibition slate continues on Tuesday, October 14, with a neutral-site matchup in Birmingham, Alabama, versus the New Orleans Pelicans . Houston will close out its preseason schedule by paying a return visit to Atlanta on Thursday, October 16.
For the Rockets and all other NBA teams, the regular-season schedule will be announced at a later date this summer. Typically, that schedule arrives in early to mid-August, with the season itself opening in late October.
