Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction and Betting Pick. Houston Rockets host San Antonio Spurs as +3.5 underdogs with a 206.0 line at 8.00 PM ET on Friday, April 10 2015. These teams met only two days ago in San Antonio, and the Spurs won 110-98, covering the -6.5 spread as the game went over 2014.0.
Houston Rockets are one of the in-form teams right now as James Harden makes his case for MVP, but they were outclassed by the Spurs on Wednesday as they’re a one-man team. Houston are chasing the No. 2 seed in the West, they’re currently third, behind Memphis.
San Antonio Spurs are red hot and they’ve proven their fantastic form by taking out Houston Rockets two days ago and increasing the winning streak to nine. Suddenly they find themselves just a half-game behind the Rockets and Grizzlies for second place in the Western Conference. The Spurs are currently sixth, and a jump to #2 would be a fantastic achievement for the reigning champions and a display of strength before the playoffs. Expect them to make it.

Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction. The Spurs are just too much for Harden-dependant Rockets. One-man teams lose to organized teams such as San Antonio, and the Spurs really picked up their form in the last two weeks. Expect the Spurs to win this one and to end up as the No.2 seed in the West in the end. They might cover the spread but it’s not worth the risk. Rockets vs Spurs Betting Pick: Spurs to win. Rockets vs Spurs Predicted Score: 102-104
