Rockets at Spurs tips and predictions

forecast

Rockets 111, Spurs 106

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Spurs have some value on the money line, but the preferred play here is the Houston spread. Given the size of the spread, the Rockets are too expensive to be considered immediate favorites.

Against the spread

Betting rockets -2.5 (-110).

The Spurs lost by 11 points in their opening game, but bounced back well against Houston. They shot 8% better from the field and 8% better from deep. San Antonio also shot more free throws. Expect some of them to turn the tide in the second game between these teams.

C Alperen Sengunarguably Houston’s best player, had 6 points last time out and should have a better game on Monday. The Spurs are also the more injured team and have to do without two of their top players. With that in mind, back ROCKETS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 218.5 (-110).

This will be Houston’s lowest point total of the season, and the last time the team scored fewer than 110 points followed a 128-point performance.

The Rockets are 1-0 O/U after losing the previous game. The Spurs are 1-1 O/U and have scored 109 points in both games. They also allow 113 per game. That is, back OVER 218.5 (-110).
