Following a loaded MLK Day slate of all-day NBA action, it’s only fitting to keep things rolling with another awesome slate that features an NBC/Peacock doubleheader. Those two games tip off with an amazing in-state Texas showdown, so we’re going to break down our best Spurs vs. Rockets predictions for tonight. 

Additionally, beyond just top Spurs vs. Rockets picks, we’ve also shared a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus with you - a peer-to-peer sportsbook perfect for fans in Texas without legal sports betting (and most of the country)!  

Spurs vs. Rockets Predictions for NBA on NBC, 1/20

The aforementioned holiday slate also means that with most of the league on the court, we were bound to have to take into account back-to-back situations. As for Spurs vs. Rockets predictions, only San Antonio finds themselves in that situation, having just hosted the Utah Jazz last night.

Meanwhile, Houston was able to make it back-to-back wins by taking down the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. As for when these Texas teams clashed back in November, not only did Victor Wembanyama and company win the game, but they also did so as underdogs, coming through for those who backed them with their Spurs vs. Rockets picks.

Speaking of Wemby, he led the charge in last night’s win over the Jazz with 33 points - 21 of which came in the first half. However, he was kept largely in check when it came to NBA expert picks against Houston this season, scoring 22 points in 37 minutes. Given the matchup, it makes sense that he didn’t truly go off.

Houston has several big men for him to deal with, and with that in mind, that’s a perfect transition to the best bet from our Spurs vs. Rockets predictions.
 

 

 

Spurs vs. Rockets Best Bet: Alperen Sengun Over 20.5 Points (-127 at Novig)

We say that because Wemby has to deal with the combo of Alperen Sengun, Steven Adams, and Kevin Durant. Ok, KD is the outlier there, but he’s still a seven-footer. Either way, we’ve got our eyes on the first guy in that list. Sengun has become one of the most consistent big men in the league, and we’ve targeted him since back on NBA Opening Night.

In many cases, taking him to record a double-double can be a solid approach, but it’s not how we’re going to focus our Spurs vs. Rockets predictions. Not only does Wemby create rebounding issues, but we’ve also seen Steven Adams focus on the boards while letting others do the scoring.

We also can’t forget that San Antonio is the team on the back-to-back, and this deep into the season, no team is completely fresh as it is. In addition to all that, Sengun scored 25 against the Spurs earlier this year, and that was with less help from Adams, who came off the bench and played just 20 minutes.

This likely won’t be an extremely high-scoring game overall, but we’ve still got Alperen Sengun over 20.5 points (-127 at Novig) as the best bet from our Spurs vs. Rockets predictions.

As with any matchup, especially one featuring Victor Wembanyama, having the Spurs vs. Rockets injury news is a must. So, starting in San Antonio, their fans are grateful that Wemby has been on the court; however, Devin Vassell's adductor injury is still a significant one.

Swapping to Houston in terms of Spurs vs. Rockets injuries, we saw Steven Adams sprain his ankle against the Pelicans. That came after Tari Eason had already been ruled out with an ankle injury.
