Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies live stream: Watch online free Thursday 8:10 ET as Memphis looks for its third straight win, which is foreign territory for this team this season, but Dwight Howard and company travel to Memphis just 24 hours after defeating the Spurs on the road.

Christmas day was one of the biggest victories of the season for the Houston Rockets (19-11) when they went into San Antonio and defeated the defending Western Conference champions. Now, Houston looks for back-to-back wins on the road vs a 12-15 Memphis Grizzlies team that is making strides.

Watch the free live stream online as James Harden looks for another dominant performance. Harden scored 28 after missing two games due to an ankle injury while Dwight Howard finished with 15 points and 20 rebounds. Each of Houston's three other starters also scored at least 13 points as the Rockets became just the fourth team to make more than half its shots against the Spurs, according to ESPN.com.

"I think we can be very good," Chandler Parsons, who went 5 of 9 from beyond the arc and scored 21, told ESPN.com. "It's obviously a process, and we're getting better every single day. But when we defend like that, rebound well and get out in transition, we're tough to beat."

The Rockets scored 40 points in the first quarter and never looked back.

"Our guys really came out on fire," coach Kevin McHale, whose team recorded 28 assists compared to 11 turnovers for its best assist-to-turnover ratio this season said. "They were excited to play. Really moved the ball; attacked."

Memphis has won two in row, though those wins came over Utah and New York squads with a combined 17-42 record. The Grizzlies had dropped five straight prior to a 95-87 victory over the Knicks on Saturday.

"We're not going to pat ourselves on the back just yet," Tony Allen said. "Coming in, playing teams like New York and Utah, I believe we're supposed to get those wins. We did a good job of doing that and now we've got a big test against the Houston Rockets. Those are the ones we need to climb up in the standings."

This will be the second time of four meetings this season. Houston won by seven in the first showdown.
