The Spurs have won 4 of their last 5 games and they have even won the last 2 games played against the Rockets, beating them by double digits in both games with one being at home and the other being on the road. The Rockets have won their last 2 straight coming into this game but both of those wins came against the Trail Blazers who have 2 wins in their last 8 games and prior to those 2 wins, the Rockets had lost 6 of their last 7 games. The Spurs have been playing much better recently and they have been playing the Rockets very well this season as well. The Spurs will keep on heating up here with another win by double digits against the Rockets.
