Tip and bets
San Antonio team has a great chance to put an end to the losing streak. They are hosting the fellow strugglers at AT&T Center. Bates-Diop won't help the team, but Popovich should be able to find a way to replace him. A home advantage should help the Spurs to win. Porter's absence won't make it easier for the Rockets.

The Spurs average 109 points per game at home, while Houston score 108 per game on away. But recent head-to-head matches were quite high-scoring. In each of four games of the previous season teams managed to beat the 230-point mark. We are expecting the same result in the upcoming game.
Our second bet is on total over 231.5 points
