Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NBA match.
San Antonio Spurs
After a five-game winning streak to start the season, the San Antonio Spurs lost twice in a row. The reason is straightforward: injuries. Right now, they are without Dylan Harper, Jeremy Sochan, De'Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk and Luke Kornet. Their absence has primarily affected the defence. The squad allowed 101.6 points during the winning run but have given up an average of 124 in the last two games.
Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets, by contrast, recovered from a slow start to win five in a row. Over this stretch, the visitors have shown remarkable variety on offence. They lead the league in points scored (124.7), and seven players are averaging 9+ points. Stopping this machine appears unlikely.
San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction
We could believe the San Antonio Spurs would compete with the Houston Rockets at full strength. However, the hosts’ defence is currently experiencing serious issues and are unlikely to contain such a strong opponent.
