December has certainly been a good month for the Spurs and their backers as the team has strung together seven straight wins, both SU and ATS. The Spurs will hit the road tonight to take on a Houston Rockets team that’s slowly starting to show signs of improvement after a disastrous start to the season.
The Spurs have been an absolute wrecking ball during their seven game win streak. They’ve covered four double-digit spreads and have won by an average of 21.4 points in the seven wins. This is their first game vs the Rockets this season, but the Spurs have beaten up on the Western Conference this season, going 9-0 SU in their last nine games vs Western Conference opponents.
Despite an overall home ATS record of 6-10 this season, the Rockets have been on a bit of a roll recently at home, winning five straight ATS at the Toyota Center. The Rockets enter this one as 7 point underdogs, which is a situation they’ve responded well to on their home court as they’ve gone 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as home underdogs.
Totals bettors will be interested to know that the total has gone UNDER in five straight games for the Rockets, while the Spurs have gone UNDER in six of their last eight road games.
James Harden has been a beast at home this season, averaging 29.1 points, 6 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 16 home games.
