Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Houston Rockets fans residing in Washington D.C., you're in an excellent position to catch every game without the frustration of local blackouts.

This means that services like NBA League Pass, which typically black out local games, will provide you with access to nearly every Rockets game live.
