Rockets vs. Spurs Picks
Point Spread Pick for Rockets vs. Spurs
- San Antonio Spurs to cover. (4 Units)
The Spurs have won seven straight home games, while the Rockets have won three of their last five road games. San Antonio has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 120 points per game in their last three games, while making over 51 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 77 percent of their free throws. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 11 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Rockets usually play well defensively, but they haven’t been as good on the road and gave up at least 115 points in two of their last three road games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Spurs. Take San Antonio to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Rockets vs. Spurs
