NBA Basketball Betting Trends - Houston Rockets at San Antonio Spurs

The Sports betting fans shouldn’t be surprised that the once mighty Spurs might not even make the playoffs this season.

Losing Manu Ginobili over the summer to an injury sustained in the Olympics was bad enough, but losing Parker, the man that makes their engine run, was devastating. The Spurs have a record of 2 and 5 straight-up and 1 and 6 against the BetUS online wagering spread.

The Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets were up by 16 at one point in that game. They eventually lost by 29 to the Lakers. The Rockets are doing better than the Spurs, mainly because they’ve stayed relatively healthy, going 5 and 3 straight-up and 3 and 5 against the BetUS online betting spread.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game.

Houston Rockets - 6 ½ - 110 - 240 O 173 ½ - 110

San Antonio Spurs + 6 ½ - 110 + 200 U 173 ½ - 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Houston Rockets are 22 and 7 against the spread in their last 29 games on a Friday night.

The Under is 6 and 2 in the Houston Rockets last 8 games after 1 day of rest.

The San Antonio Spurs are 0 and 6 against the spread in their last 6 games versus a Western Conference opponent.

The Under is 13 and 3 in the Spurs last 16 games overall.

The trends say under and so do I. Neither the Rockets nor the Spurs want to turn this game into an all out run up and down dunk contest. The Spurs especially will have to slow this game down if they have any chance of winning.

I don’t believe they do unless the Rockets just put in a clunker but instead of trying to beat the 6 ½ points, I’m willing to go ahead and make an online wager on this game going under the BetUS total of 173 ½.

That’s the online bet that I’ll be making - - on the game between the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets to go under 173 ½ points.
