San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Houston Rockets should win this game considering they’re the healthier team and at home. However, the Rockets have had issues finishing over the last few weeks and have still lost six of their last 10 games. We have to remember the Rockets are a young team and finishing is the next step in the process. The Spurs are a mess right now and without their best player in Wembanyama. Still, the Spurs are playing for a potential playoff spot even though that gets more bleak by the day. Also, this is still an in-state rivalry where these teams don’t like each other. The points can come in handy in spots like this. Give me the Spurs and the free buckets.
