Last season, the Rockets won three of the four games in their series and have split the two games they’ve played this season. The Spurs hold the all-time record having bested the Rockets 108 of their 195 matches.
San Antonio Spurs
After a less than stellar season start the Spurs seem to have found their mojo with DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge leading the way.
Heading into the game versus Minnesota on Friday the Spurs posted six victories in their previous seven games mostly via ousts.

In the game versus Orlando, they won by 39 points. They aren’t just saving these routs for games against lower tier squads. For example, they beat Philly by 27, the Clippers by 38

In fact, in those six wins the Spurs are averaging 121.8 points while holding their opponents to 96.
Lonnie Walker is with San Antonio’s G-League team preparing for a return to the varsity squad which is great news for the Spurs.
Pau Gasol (foot) and Dejounte Murray (torn ACL, right knee) remain out with the latter lost for the season.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets lost something more important than the game in Miami as Chris Paul went down with a left hamstring injury.
This comes on the heels of the Rockets winning five in a row and finally ascending into the playoff seeds. Without one of either Paul or James Harden on the court Houston has struggled.
Furthermore, the injury comes at a terrible time in the schedule where the Rockets are set to face a number of elite teams.

Let’s just say it won’t be surprising to hear Daryl Morey has made a trade this weekend to add depth to their squad.
There is no deadline set for Paul’s return although it will likely be weeks. James Ennis III (right hamstring strain) is expected to be out until the New Year.

Free San Antonio Spurs vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
San Antonio hasn’t fared well on second nights of back to backs going 0-5.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Spurs plus the points
Still, with no CP3 or Ennis are the Rockets deep enough to capture the win? Keep an eye on what happens with San Antonio Friday versus the Wolves and the minutes of the starters as that could be the deciding factor. If they play over 35 minutes I’d be inclined to switch the winner to Houston.
