Houston (9-11) lost its fourth straight game Wednesday night at home by a score of 128-108 against Dallas. The Rockets were led by James Harden as he recorded a triple-double with 25 points on 7-of-15 shooting plus 17 assists, 11 rebounds and six steals.

San Antonio was no match for host Minnesota Wednesday night as it fell by a 128-89 score.

NBA Betting Trends

Houston

The over is 6-0 in the last six Rockets games overall. The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.

San Antonio

The Spurs are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games versus a team with a losing straight up record. The over is 5-0-1 in the last six San Antonio games overall.

Prediction:

The Rockets are in a slide again and Paul is once again questionable for this one, although with the caution they are exercising with him it would be almost surprising if he returned here. Houston has played a number of high-scoring games with Harden leading the way, so I wouldn't argue against taking the over. But I'm going to play the Spurs on a short spread at home and try to take advantage of Houston's struggles.
