Prediction
Rockets 123, Spurs 116
Moneyline (ML)
The Rockets (-589) should roll over the Spurs (+425), but there is no way to justify playing Houston at nearly six times the risk of your return unless you include this game in a parlay of six or more teams. Even then, that’s just not for me.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The SPURS (+10.5, -115) are worth a look despite the fact they’re 0-3-1 ATS in the past four trips to Houston. They won the most recent meeting on Dec. 3 by a 135-133 score in double-overtime. You can expect Houston pays them back, but San Antonio will keep it within single digits.
Over/Under (O/U)
Take the OVER 231.5 (-121), which easily cashed in the most recent meeting in this series. The Over is also 4-1 in the past five for San Antonio, and 6-2 in the past eight on the road. For Houston, the Over is 5-2-1 in the past eight at Toyota Center against teams with a road winning percentage under .400.
