Love the Houston Rockets? Now's your chance to root them on as they begin the NBA playoffs against their in-state rival, the Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets finished the season in second place in the Western Conference, which means that they'd have home court advantage for at least the first two rounds. And that means home playoff games happening just a short trip from Siena at Memorial Heights.
With MVP candidate James Harden, center Dwight Howard, and newcomer Josh Smith, the Rockets hope to play for an NBA Championship this year.
It all starts Saturday night, April 18, at the Toyota Center, with Game 1 against the Mavs. Game 2 will happen on Tuesday, April 21, and the Rockets have made tickets to each game available through Flashseats, the arena's official secondary ticket market.
Prefer to watch it at home? Game 1 will air Saturday at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN.
