Spurs vs. Rockets Best Bets
Rockets -1.5 (-105 DraftKings)
These teams both sit at the bottom of the Western Conference, but Houston is playing better basketball. The Spurs sit 21st or worse (out of 30) in most offensive metrics this season, including points per game (26th), shooting percentage (23rd), effective field goal percentage (23rd), and three-point percentage (21st). On top of poor play, the Spurs are also banged up and could be without Jakob Poeltl, Jermey Sochan, and Devin Vassell. Rockets are the play here as it seems that Houston wants to lose less right now.
