The Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs will face off at the Toyota Center in the NBA on Thursday morning. The Rockets (4-3) are fourth in the Western Conference standings, while the Spurs (3-4) are in 12th place. Let’s get into the match prediction.

After a slow start to the season, the Houston Rockets seem to be finding some form, winning the third of their last four games 109-97 against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. 

Alperen Sengun had a very impressive outing, scoring 25 points on 11 of 15 shooting, while also pulling down 14 rebounds and providing five assists. Fred VanVleet added 19 points. 

While Houston have not been the most prolific team, averaging 111.9 PPG (18th in the league), they have been very good on defence, allowing just 107.7 PPG (fifth in the NBA). 

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs were denied a third consecutive victory on Tuesday when they were beaten by the Clippers 113-104 on the road. 

Victor Wembenyama was an absolute monster on defence, racking up nine blocks, three steals and 13 rebounds while contributing 24 points. Julian Champagne added 21 points. 

The Frenchman has gotten his side to third in PPG against this season, allowing just 105.9, but at the other end, the team is second-bottom in the league, scoring only 105.0 on average.
