Why bet the Spurs?

✅ Wood on the shelf: The Rockets will be without Christian Wood for the foreseeable future, which makes them thin on the front line. Additionally, John Wall will either be out or will play through a back injury. In any event, the overachieving Rockets will be short handed.

Rockets vs Spurs against the spread predictions refer to whether the Thunder or Spurs win or lose by the necessary points to cover the spread. For a hypothetical line, we will use the Spurs -7. This means a wager on the Spurs would require them to win by more than seven points to be considered a winner. A wager on the Rockets, at +7, would require them to either win the game outright or to lose by fewer than seven points to be considered a winner.

Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs Over/Under betting is a way of wagering on the contest without being required to pick the winner of the game. Instead, these wagers are against a set total of combined points in the game. For a hypothetical example, we will use a total set at 219 points. Over/Under wagers on this Spurs vs Rockets contest would be betting over or under 219 combined points for the two teams.

There are multiple factors that go into Over/Under wagering, including pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor. See above if there is a best Over/Under play for Spurs vs Rockets.

Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play. Instead of laying or taking the points on the spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on a game, for instance the Rockets vs Spurs Money Line predictions, but want to avoid the point spread, a Money Line wager is worth considering.

For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our Spurs -7 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread play, the Spurs can be bet on to simply win outright while laying odds. The Rockets can be bet on to win the game outright while getting odds. In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -265 on the Spurs and expect to get about +215 on the Rockets.
