NBA Cup game presented by Frost Bank between the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz.
The Houston Rockets take on the Utah Jazz at the Toyota Center on Friday, November 13. It's not just another regular-season matchup, though—this one is part of the NBA Cup, presented by Frost Bank. If you're not familiar with how that works, it's the league's mid-season tournament, so the game carries a bit more weight than your average November night.
This particular matchup falls under the Rockets Cup Nights West, Group A schedule. That means the Rockets are competing in a group with other Western Conference teams, and the result here helps determine who moves on in the tournament. It's a good reason to keep an eye on the standings throughout the fall, because these games aren't just about the win-loss column—they're about who survives the group stage.

On the court, it's the Rockets hosting the Jazz right here in Houston. The game tips off at 7:30 PM, with doors opening at 6:00 PM, so you've got plenty of time to get in and settle in before the first whistle. If you're planning to be there, keep in mind that this is part of the NBA Cup format, so it's a bit different from the usual grind of the regular season.
