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.

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.
