LiontipsSan Antonio vs Houston. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
San Antonio faced injury problems once again. Too many key players are on injuried list. Gregg Popovich's men will have to do without DeJounte Murray, Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl. All of them are unavailable for the Rockets match.
Weakened Spurs failed to put up a fight to Miami in the previous match. Derrick White tried to do something in this match, but his efforts were not enough for a victory. San Antonio suffered a 95:114 defeat to the Heat.
Houston managed to break their string of defeats. In the previous match Silas' men recorded an unexpected victory over Cleveland. Cavaliers were not ready to play in higher tempo, dictated by the Rockets. Houston eventually recorded a 115:104 victory.
We should note that team from Texas lost 20 out of 27 away matches. Only Sacramento are less successful in the West. Silas' men are performing slightly better on away matches recently.

Tip and bets
Houston is considered a high-scoring team. Rockets are averaging 107,3 points per game on away. We think that this time Silas' men will score even more. In recent home matches San Antonio allowed 112 points per game on average. We don't think that weakened Spurs will contain the offense of Texas team.
Our prediction - Houston: individual total over 114,5 points
San Antonio Spurs are weakened by injuries. Popovich's men have a chance for a victory, but they are unlikely to win by a wide margin. We think that visitors should be able to put up a fight to the favourite.
Our second bet - Handicap (+6,5) points for Houston Rockets
