The San Antonio Spurs travel to the Toyota Center to battle the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Here’s a San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction. This article will include a San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Pick.
San Antonio SpursÂ
The San Antonio Spurs are searching for some consistency as they’ve lost four of their first seven games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Clippers in a 113-104 road defeat on Monday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 24 points, 13 rebounds, three steals, and nine blocks, Julian Champagne added 21 points while Chris Paul tallied 14 points with 10 assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 41 from the 3-point line as they got off to a flyer with 40 points in the first quarter to take an early 26-point lead, but they allowed the Clippers to hang around eventually got run down in the fourth quarter where they managed just 18 points as a team.Â
Houston RocketsÂ
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been building nicely as they’ve won three of their last four games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Knicks in a 109-97 home win on Monday. Alperen Sengun led the team with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists on 11 of 15 shooting, Fred VanVleet added 19 points with five assists while Jalen Green chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Rockets shot 48 percent from the field and eight of 33 from the 3-point line, but this win was more to do with their defense as they kept a lid on the Knicks and held them to just 41 points in the second half to get the impressive win at home.Â

San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Spurs are still missing Devin Vassell and now Jeremy Sochan who injured his thumb on Monday, while the Rockets have ruled out Steven Adams again and they have Dillon Brooks listed as questionable. The Spurs have shown glimpses of their potential already this season, but they are coming into this one after blowing a 26-point lead in their last game. The Rockets are starting to heat up now and they looked impressive in their comfortable win over the Knicks on Monday. The Rockets are still a little banged up, but I love the way coach Ime Udoka has this team playing at the moment. Give me the Rockets to take care of business at the modest line at home.
