San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Spurs are a good enough team to give a look in the underdog role. However, the Spurs have also been hit or miss over the last couple of weeks, and they’re coming off an inexcusable loss to the Pelicans. The Rockets are showing signs of getting back on track, and they’ve won 7 of the last 9 games against the Spurs. One of those wins came last week. I’d simply need an extra point or two to show the Spurs serious attention. At home and in better form, I have to side with the Rockets.
