A big-time Texas NBA basketball game is set to tip off tonight between the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs inside the Toyota Center. Both teams have won back-to-back games and will look to carry this momentum into the 8:00 p.m. ET tip-off. The Spurs are significant favorites in this game, but can the Rockets keep it close?
Let’s check the latest news, stats, injury reports, and NBA odds for San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets. We’ve plenty of predictions for you to consider.

Houston Rockets Continue Their Below Average Season
The Houston Rockets have been one of the worst teams to pick on NBA spreads this season; they are 31-43-1 against the spread, which ranks sixth-worst in the entire league.
Despite this lack of success, head coach Stephen Silas took relief in his team’s weekend success over the Portland Trail Blazers.
“We have been in this position in — I don’t remember the last time — where we can just kind of start and get a really good lead and then hold on to the lead,” said Silas.
Houston is led by center Christian Wood (17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds) and has two young, exciting guards in Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., to compliment him. They like to get out and run with the ball, although they are among the worst defensive teams in the league.
The Rockets are 1-2 against the San Antonio Spurs but won their last matchup 128-124, a game in which Eric Gordon exploded for 31 points. Most NBA betting previews do not have that sort of performance earmarked as a premier bet for the night, given that he has scored just seven combined points in his last two outings, but he can get hot on short notice.
Is Playing Hard, Enough for the San Antonio Spurs?
The “unders” won the weekend, but the San Antonio Spurs look like an early candidate for the biggest sports betting winner of the new week. The Spurs are just one game out of the play-in tournament and have a chance to move even closer after the Los Angeles Lakers blew a 20-point halftime lead to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Many people looking to bet online may be unfamiliar with the Spurs because of their smaller market, few national television games, and old-school stigma under coach Gregg Popovich, however, they remain competitive, in a wildly competitive conference.
Fifth-year guard Dejounte Murray represented San Antonio in his first All-Star Game this February, earning the nod with his 20.8-point, 9.3-assist, 8.3-rebound average. He leads a group of Spurs that have a balance of athleticism, rebounding, shooting, and slashing, although they are not “specialists” in any particular area.
San Antonio is the classic example of a team that plays hard every night and consistently bothers below-average teams with a limited ceiling— the good news is that their opponent, the Houston Rockets, is not one of the teams beyond their capabilities. They will also have l momentum after winning three straight and four of their last five outings.
San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Head-to-Head
The Spurs and Rockets have taken the court against each other three times in 2022. The Spurs won, back on February 4th by a score of 131-106 as 8-point favorites. San Antonio won big on January 25th as well, but Houston beat the Spurs by four, back on January 12th. This should be an entertaining fourth game of the season between the two.

San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs are a -7 favorite over the Houston Rockets at the time of publication— this speaks to the low floor that the Rockets have as opposed to the lofty ceiling of the Spurs.
Both of San Antonio’s wins in the season series resulted in blowouts, one by 25 points and the other by 30. They are more fundamentally sound than their youthful opponent and have more to play for, with the play-in spot still up for grabs.
A seven-point spread may be intimidating for a team that is playing sub-.500 ball, but the favored Spurs are still the best bet heading into tip-off.
Pick: San Antonio Spurs -7 (-110)
