Game: Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs
Time: 9:30 PM ET

I see value in the Under 227.5 for this matchup.

Both teams are coming off back-to-back games, which usually leads to lower intensity and a slower pace. Fatigue will be a major factor, especially for the Spurs, who are playing their fourth game in five days on the road. The Rockets aren’t far behind, playing their fourth game in six days, which could impact their offensive efficiency.

On top of that, both teams have been averaging just 108 points per game over their last five games, and now they’ll be without two key playmakers—Fred VanVleet for the Rockets and Victor Wembanyama for the Spurs. Without their primary scorers and facilitators, offensive production should take another hit.

With tired legs and missing stars, I expect a slower, lower-scoring game. The under looks like the right play here.

My prediction: Under 227.5 -110
