Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs didn’t look great in their season opener, and they still have some showing and proving to do based on how last year played out. The Houston Rockets are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re head and shoulders the deeper and more talented team. The Rockets have won 5 of the last 6 games against the Spurs, and games like this are must-win if they’re going to make a playoff push. We’re only laying a bucket. I’ll gladly take the Rockets.
