Spurs vs Rockets Prediction, Odds, Picks and Player Prop Pick
For the San Antonio Spurs, this season has gone as most people who bet on NBA online expected. This was a rebuilding season, focusing on growth for the young players. The Spurs now travel to face a Houston Rockets team that had some excitement but is falling short.
The Spurs are building momentum, mainly led by Rookie Of The Year favorite Victor Wembanyama, who displayed how great he could be in a 117-105 win over the Indiana Pacers. The Rockets ended a three-game losing streak, beating a Phoenix Suns team that played most of the matchup without two key players.

Spurs vs Rockets ATS Pick: Spurs +7½
This game can be closer than NBA betting odds might expect. Sure, it is easy to look at the Spur’s record, being at the bottom of the Western Conference, and immediately bet against them, but this team is starting to build momentum.
In the last two games, the Spurs have beaten two likely playoff teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Pacers. On top of that, over six games since the All-Star break, the Spurs have been great against the NBA spread, only failing to cover once.
Wembanyama has been at the heartbeat of that. He is starting to play more minutes, averaging 31.2 over the last six games, and the stats are following. Wembanyama is averaging 24 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 5 blocks, and 2.7 steals, doing some pretty insane things.
While the Spurs might not win on the road because the Rockets are good at home with a 20-10 record, they could keep it close. Leaning on Wembanyama seems to be working, and this could be another game the Spurs do that in.
If Wembanyama is out for this game, listed as questionable and a game-time decision, the Spurs will be a lost team. The Rockets should then cover, possibly easily.
Spurs vs Rockets Over/Under Pick: Under 228
Both teams have struggled recently to hit the over, so the under should be an option for NBA picks. The Spurs do not have players outside of Wembanyama to keep up with teams offensively, leading to them only hitting the over three times in the last 10 games.
On the other hand, the Rockets rely on their defense to win. They allow the 11th fewest points per game (113) and have the sixth-best defensive rating (112.8). The offense lacks consistency and is ranked in the bottom third of the league in scoring and offensive rating.
Spurs vs Rockets Player Prop Pick: Jalen Green Over 20½ Points (-110)
Overall, Jalen Green‘s season has been all over the place. The hope was that he would start to become a near All-Star, which hasn’t happened. However, Green has been able to have some solid offensive stretches. He scored 34 points in the last two games, and against a Spurs defense that isn’t the best, Green could keep the hot streak going, making him a great player prop bet tonight.
