The new-look Houston Rockets featured superstar Kevin Durant in their season opener with an in-state rivalry against the Dallas Mavericks, and for their first NBA Cup Group Stage game, they’ve got another one against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Therefore, we’re here to provide you with our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions for tonight.

Rockets vs. Spurs Predictions for NBA Cup Group Stage, 11/7

The Spurs were recently in Los Angeles in a nailbiter against the Lakers that ultimately ended in a two-point loss (they were 2.5-point underdogs). On the other end of the spectrum, the Rockets are coming into this game on a five-game winning streak. The commonality is that it’s the first NBA Cup Group Stage game for both sides.

As for when these Texas rivals faced off last year, the Rockets went 3-1 both straight up and against the spread. Similarly, the under hit in three of the four games. That was a Houston team without Kevin Durant, and we know what you’re thinking - well, the Spurs didn’t have Wemby for most of last season.

True, but these teams met three times before this date last year, which meant that Wemby was on the floor for each of those matchups. Along with both teams missing key players - Fred VanVleet in Houston and De'Aaron Fox in San Antonio - there is so much that we have to consider for our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions.

Along with each team missing key players, both teams sit at 5-2 and have a similar pace of play. Therefore, we aren’t shocked that the point spread is quite close according to the latest Rockets vs. Spurs odds. With all of that in mind, we’re going to avoid the standard markets altogether for our best bet.
 

 

 

Rockets vs. Spurs Best Bet: Kevin Durant Over 24.5 Points (-125 at Rebet)

The team that started the Spurs’ recent two-game skid was (one of) Kevin Durant’s former teams - the Phoenix Suns. He’s going to be the focus of our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions, which likely doesn’t come as a huge surprise to most. However, if you want to stick with the Spurs side of the game, consider targeting Stephon Castle.

With no De’Aaron Fox and now no Dylan Harper, he’s going to be the main assist man to feed Wemby and company. He just had an eight-assist game against the Lakers the other night, and he was already leading the team in assists per game. Of course, oddsmakers also know his added responsibility, which is why we see more value elsewhere.

Although that isn’t often the case with Kevin Durant, we aren’t scared of today’s big points line. Frankly, KD speaks for himself at this point as he climbs the NBA’s all-time scoring leaderboard. He’s coming off his worst shooting night of the season, and with all eyes on him tonight, we have no issues trusting him to show off and bounce back.

After all, Houston’s league-leading offense is going to put Wemby and San Antonio’s stout defense to the test. We expect KD to lead the way in doing so, making the best bet from our Rockets vs. Spurs predictions on Kevin Durant over 24.5 points (-125 at Rebet).

Rockets vs. Spurs Injury Report & Latest News

As with any matchup, we’ve always got to know about injuries. So, for Rockets vs. Spurs injury news in Houston, it’s really only Dorian Finney-Smith that we’re most concerned about, given Fred VanVleet’s super unfortunate torn ACL prior to the season has him out for the year.

We expect Steven Adams to fulfill his role, and even if not, it’s not one that we expect to shift the odds. As for Rockets vs. Spurs injuries in San Antonio, they have several guys out, although they are expected ones: De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Jeremy Sochan, Luke Kornet, and Kelly Olynyk.
