A win for Houston would put the Spurs in a very tough position as far as the division title is concerned. A San Antonio win would open the door wide open for all 3 teams with just a couple games remaining on the schedule.

Houston

The Rockets are doing everything they possibly can to hold on to the 2 seed in the NBA Western Conference. 1 game up on Memphis, Houston will look to give themselves some breathing room with a win over the surging Spurs on Wednesday. Houston has won 3 straight games, and comes in following a 115-112 thrilling win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

MVP candidate James Harden is doing just about everything possible to not only solidify is own campaign, but also to give his team the 2 seed in the West. Harden leads the NBA with 27.7 points a game this season. In the past 8 contests with the Spurs, Harden is averaging 26.8 points a game.

C Dwight Howard finally got himself back on track last game against OKC as he scored 22 points and put together possibly his best performance since returning from his injury. Howard also grabbed 8 rebounds in the win.

Houston has won 6 of the last 7 meetings with San Antonio, but lost the most previous one back on Dec. 26th 110-106.

San Antonio

Winners of 8 in a row, it’s a fair statement to say that nobody wants to face the San Antonio Spurs right now, especially in a playoff series.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The Spurs have also won 18 of their last 21 contests. During this 8 game winning streak the Spurs have put together, they are beating opponents by an average of 20.9 points a game. They are dismantling the likes of Denver, Oklahoma City, Golden State, and other playoff candidates.

The Spurs are not just scoring a lot, but they’re also dominating opponents with their lockdown defense. San Antonio is only allowing 87.6 points a game during this current streak, and opponents are shooting just 41.7 percent from the field.

With 4 games left in the regular season, two of them will be against Houston. The Spurs will more than likely have to win both contests against the Rockets in order to have any chance at the 2 seed and Southwest division title. That doesn’t seem so far fetched as they’ve been blowing past everybody in their way.

[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

At home this season, San Antonio is 31-8 S.U. and 20-17-2 ATS.

NBA Basketball Betting Trends:

  • Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
  • Rockets are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a S.U. win.
  • Spurs are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
  • Spurs are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 vs. NBA Southwest.

Free 4* NBA Basketball Pick: Houston +6.5

6.5 is a lot to lay here, even with the hot Spurs. Houston can essentially eliminate the Spurs from the division with a win here tonight.

San Antonio 104, Houston 102

While this game will come down to the wire, grabbing the points now would be smart, as this line will probably move as game time gets closer.

Houston

This is the second of a classic Texas Triangle for the Rockets who need to rebound from a home loss to Dallas on Monday night. This team has been sputtering lately just 5-5 in their last 10.

Unfortunately for Houston, SG James Harden is questionable for this prime-time game. He was fantastic in scoring 31 points in their last victory against the Spurs but replacement Francisco Garcia hardly puts much fean into an opponent. PG Jeremy Lin missed that one but he will be available this time. Lin played for the first time in a couple of weeks on Monday and did not look rusty at all in scoring 20 points against the Mavs.

Over the last 10 the Rockets have covered when they won 4 out of 5 times. Beating the Spurs again at home of going to be very tough to do but even without Harden they can play this team very tight and get a cover. The underdog is 13-6 ATS in this series over the last several seasons including 1-0 this year.

San Antonio

[ad-6571516]
The Spurs sit atop the Southwest Division looking down on Houston and others. The great thing about this San Antonio team this season is that it really takes care of business against the lower tiers of the league, so far they have lost just 6 games but all of them have been to team that can reasonably considered contenders for an NBA title this season, including the Rockets. They will be looking to prove a point to Houston in this one.

After being out of the lineup for a few games PG Tony Parker returned and had his best game of the season against Toronto in a win on Monday night. Conversely PF Tim Duncan didn’t even score in double digits, and looked more like the player who struggled over the first month of the season. The Spurs have the great record but some of their younger players like Kawhi Leonard haven’t take off like we anticipated after last year’s run to the finals.

The Spurs have not been a good bet at home this season, just 5-8 ATS as compared to 10-5 on the road. Almost always the favourite they do seem to get up for these divisional games with a 5-1 ATS run going against teams from the Southwest division. The one was that earlier SU loss to the Rockets

Spread Pick: Push
O/U Pick: Under
Score Prediction: San Antonio 99 – Houston 92
