The San Antonio Spurs are set for a conference clash with the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. San Antonio has struggled since returning from the All-Star break following the news of Victor Wembanyama being shut down for the season. On the flip side, the Rockets continue to fight for seeding in the playoff picture as the postseason looms. Despite that, each team will have extra motivation to come out on top in this in-state rivalry game.

Spurs vs. Rockets Best Bet: Rockets -9.5
The Rockets enter this matchup as the betting favorites, and considering their 19-9 home record, it’s easy to see why. Ime Udoka’s squad takes pride in protecting their home court, and as his young team gears up toward the playoffs, each game will have extra motivation behind it, especially a rivalry game like this. In their last matchup, Houston blew the Spurs out by 27 points in Toyota Center. And with San Antonio’s glaring weakness in the front court, it’s hard to take any stock in San Antonio pulling off the upset, considering they’ve lost back-to-back games by double digits.

Spurs vs. Rockets Best Total Bet: Under 228
Houston ranks in the middle of the field this season, averaging 112.7 points per game, just above the Spurs, with 112.6 points per matchup. However, as mentioned before, San Antonio is a completely different team without Wembanyama on both ends of the floor. It won’t be a surprise if the outcome of this game is a one-sided scoring affair, with the Rockets taking the win, 122-103.

Spurs Best Player Bet: De’Aaron Fox 25+ Points +112
De’Aaron Fox enters this game averaging 24.3 points on the season, most of which he produced as part of the Sacramento Kings. However, the Kentucky product has shown flashes of his scoring ability multiple times with the Spurs already since joining, and with the team needing an offensive boost sooner rather than later, they could turn to their star guard to pick up the slack. If the Spurs hope to keep pace with the Rockets, they’ll need a big game from Fox. That said, I’ll take the odds that Fox shows up for the first Rockets-Spurs rivalry game of his career.
Rockets Best Player Bet: Jalen Green 4+ Made Threes +134
Jalen Green has impressed this season, not only leading his team in scoring with 21.6 points per game but also because of his ability to elevate his play as of late. In the last three games, the Rockets star has finished with 25+ points in each, primarily due to his efficient shooting from beyond the arc. Green has drained five or more threes in each of his last three games and 4+ in four of his previous five.
