Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

The San Antonio Spurs just beat the Rockets a couple of days ago and should like their chances at home yet again. The problem is the Rockets are still the better, deeper team and should win this game. The game on Saturday came down to the wire. The Rockets have also won 5 of the last 7 games against the Spurs. It’s only a matter of time before the Rockets get out of the mud offensively. We’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Rockets.
