San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been struggling lately as they’ve lost 10 of their last 14 games and they will be hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Pelicans in a 109-103 road defeat last night. Devin Vassell led the team with 20 points, Harrison Barnes and De’Aaron Fox each scored 15 points with nine assists and six steals, while Chris Paul tallied 12 points with 10 assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 40 percent from the field and 13 of 44 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first quarter to take an early 19-point lead. But they allowed the Pelicans to hang around, and it finally cost them in the fourth quarter. They got outscored by 30-20 to drop another game they should’ve won. The Spurs will play against the Grizzlies and Thunder following this one.
Houston Rockets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been a team on the rise as they’ve won four of their last six games and they will be eager to build some momentum after sneaking past the Bucks in a 100-97 home win last night. Jalen Green led the team with 25 points, eight rebounds, and three assists, Alperen Sengun added 23 points with 11 rebounds and three blocks while Dillon Brooks chipped in with 16 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Rockets shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they went back and forth with the Bucks in a game that was deadlocked after three quarters. Before the Rockets opened the fourth quarter on a pivotal 7-0 run to escape with the narrow win at home. The Rockets will meet the Kings after this game.

Rockets vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still missing Victor Wembenyama and Charles Bassey, while the Rockets have ruled out Fred VanVleet once again. The Spurs have been one of the coldest teams in the league, and they are coming off two ugly losses where they blew double-digit leads. In contrast, the Rockets are starting to turn things around, and they looked great in their gritty win over the Bucks last night. Both teams are playing on zero days rest, but the Rockets won’t have to travel as last night’s game was also at home. With that being said, I am sticking with the Rockets to continue their rise with a big win and cover over this slumping Spurs squad.
