🔥 Rockets vs. Spurs Predictions for Tonight, 10/23
In that season opener against SGA and the rest of OKC, we cashed one of our best NBA expert picks with ease by taking them as the underdog in their 116-104 upset victory. Admittedly, we didn’t call for a 1-for-13 shooting night for Wemby, but winners are winners, and that’s what we need with our best Rockets vs. Spurs predictions for tonight.
As for the other big star in this matchup - Kevin Durant - he dropped 30 in their 128-110 win over Dallas. That was alongside teammate Jabari Smith., also dropping 30, but they also allowed Cooper Flagg to score 32. The Duke product became the youngest player in league history to score 30+ in a season opener as well.
Overall, it was a higher-scoring game than we became accustomed to with Houston last season, and it would be about 10 points higher than the total for this matchup. We don’t expect KD and company to score another 128, and with that in mind, we can get right into the best bet from our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions for tonight.
🏅 Rockets vs. Spurs Expert Pick: San Antonio -6.5 (-110 at Courtside)
Not only do we not expect Houston to match their performance from the other night, but we also expect them to get a taste of their own medicine. Beating up on the Mavs is going to be par for the course more often than not this season, and this is now a pissed-off San Antonio squad. So, this significant point spread doesn’t have us changing our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions.
In fact, the lookahead line had Wemby and company even more heavily favored, and if they’re going to be favored by a few points vs. SGA and OKC, then this one adds up. We do like how Fred VanVleet has looked since coming back earlier in the preseason, even if he did score just six points against Dallas.
Regardless, this is about Wemby bouncing back from what we would consider to be an outlier. After all, he dropped 93 points in his four games vs. Houston last season, helping his team go 3-1 against KD’s guys. More importantly, they also went 3-1 against the spread. So, let’s lock in the best bet from our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions for tonight on San Antonio -6.5 (-110 at Courtside).
