Time: 8 p.m. ET
Reasoning: I expect a bombs-away game between these squads, with both teams well above the league average in shooting and the Rockets hitting 46.1% of their threes and the Spurs connecting on 38.6% of theirs. San Antonio should keep it close if not win outright since they can neutralize opponents from behind the arc (28.1% in 3-point FG percentage defense). The Spurs are old but they also are deep (returning 14 players and all five starters from last season's championship team). Houston has a thin bench and it also could be without F Terrence Jones (leg) for a second straight game. Nevertheless the Rockets are averaging 105.6 points per game and have made 10 or more three-pointers in each of their five contests. Both teams are off the charts when it comes to trying threes, as the league average in threes vs. twos is 26.2%. Houston's percentage is 43.6% and San Antonio's is 32.3%.
Bankroll: +105.67%
