Spurs at Rockets and Lakers at Nuggets highlight Jan. 20 Coast 2 Coast

Nbc says Coast 2 Coast Tuesday on January 20 will feature the San Antonio Spurs at the Houston Rockets (8 p.m. ET) and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Denver Nuggets (10 p.m. ET), with both games broadcast live and simulcast streaming on Peacock.

The Spurs (30-13) visit the Rockets (25-15) in the second of four scheduled meetings this season; San Antonio holds a 1-0 edge after a 121-110 home win on Nov. 7. The matchup carries divisional weight: the Spurs sit atop the Southwest Division with Victor Wembanyama leading the way, while 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant and the Rockets occupy second place.

The late game opens the first of three regular-season meetings between the Lakers (25-16) and Nuggets (29-14). According to the report, the Lakers’ starting lineup — "from LeBron James to Luka Dončić" — looks ready to roll, while Denver has been managing without Nikola Jokić (out with a knee injury since late December) and is keeping a close medical eye on starters Christan Braun and Jamal Murray. The results shape multi-game series schedules and divisional races: the Lakers contend with the Phoenix Suns for the Pacific lead, and the Nuggets sit second in the Northwest behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.
