Rating:
With San Antonio back to back, score points with the Rockets here. Although Houston is without Sengun, which is a bit concerning, the Spurs defense should still struggle at that spot. This season, the Rockets are 34-28-2 ATS while San Antonio is 11-13 ATS as a home underdog this season. Lay the dots with Houston.
Take Houston -3.5.
Prediction: Rockets -3.5 -110

Rating:
This is a good spot for the under here, as both offenses struggle at times, as they will miss a lot of shots, especially from beyond the arc. Houston is 34-28-2 in hitting the under while on the road it is 17-15. San Antonio, meanwhile, is 31-31-2 this season. Although the Spurs are playing at a pace of 103.9, which puts them in second place, that pace will not slow down in any way. Houston, meanwhile, is playing at a pace of 100.8, which ranks 15th.
Take the under 224 points.
Prediction: Under 224 -110
