Just how big has home court advantage been when it comes to cashing tickets in the San Antonio Spurs-Houston Rockets series? Home sides are 9-0 ATS in the last nine matchups between the clubs, a trend that will appeal to Rockets bettors ahead of tonight’s clash at Toyota Center.
- The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall
- The OVER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings
- The Spurs are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings
The Spurs are 6-1 SU on their annual rodeo trip and haven’t shown any signs of slowing down. For the Rockets, stringing together wins has been a monumental task. James Harden’s crew have not won two in a row in over a month.
In spite of his phenomenal stats, Harden seems to have quite a few doubters. The shooting guard did his best job to silence them in Thursday’s 119-105 victory over Portland, scoring 46 points in a dominating effort. Harden has totalled 88 points on 32-of-56 shooting in his last two games and is averaging 36.5 over his past six.
