For the Rockets, Sunday’s game is massive. Their form has been up and down lately, exchanging wins and losses in their last 5 outings. Despite failing to master consistency in this period, they have been able to keep hold of the third seed — mainly because the Nuggets have also struggled a bit in this period. Playing the Spurs will be a proper test. The Rockets’ only win against them this season came at home, so they are looking to even things out as far as the regular-season series goes.

We witnessed the comeback for the ages by the San Antonio Spurs in their last game, as they overcame a 25-point deficit and beat their former star Kawhi Leonard and his Clippers. That performance has the league on notice; San Antonio means business. Victor Wembanyama has been playing extremely well since the break. He delivered 27 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks in just 22 minutes against the Clippers. His matchup with Alperen Sengun down low could decide the outcome of Sunday’s game against the Rockets.

I find it hard to bet against the Spurs these days, no matter who the opponent is and no matter how big the spread is. For Sunday against the Rockets, the number is at 5 points — which is very reasonable considering that the Spurs’ 2 head-to-head wins have come by 11 and 12 points. Playing at home will also be a boost; in 29 games there, Wemby and company are a dominant 23-6 SU. I’ll back San Antonio.

Rockets vs Spurs prediction: San Antonio -5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
