Spurs Struggling To Cover Against Rockets
Though the San Antonio Spurs have not exactly found their footing after an offseason of roster upheaval, they have always struggled for bettors against the Houston Rockets. The Spurs are just 5-10 ATS in their past 10 games against the Rockets and have only covered once in their past seven trips to Houston.
The Spurs have been great on the road this season, as they are a perfect 4-0 SU with an average scoring margin of +14.5 points. Kawhi Leonard has been especially good away from San Antonio, as he has averaged 26.2 points while shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc while traveling this season.
James Harden has been unstoppable in Mike D’Antoni’s scheme, as he is averaging 30.6 points, 13 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game this year. Harden registered his first triple-double of the season in the Rockets last game, which just happened to be against the Spurs Wednesday.
