Prediction

The Rockets were playing better as they got some player back with the team but they were outscored by the Spurs 2 days ago. The Spurs have won 3 games in a row and are 8-0 in their last 8 games at home vs Houston and honestly I don't see how that can change. The Rockets have been awful on the road this season and I expect another strong performance from the Spurs at home.
