The San Antonio Spurs are on the end of a back to back, dealing with injuries, and they’re actually better on the road than they are at home. However, the Houston Rockets are absolutely terrible, losing their last five games by an average of 10 points and losing on the road by an average of 9.1 points. The Rockets also aren’t covering numbers despite being big underdogs nightly. I have to lay the bucket with the Spurs.
