San Antonio Spurs plus-1.5 vs. Houston Rockets: $660 to win $600
James Harden is coming off a historic performance in Houston's win over Orlando on Wednesday, as he became the first player to score 60 points in a triple-double (60 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds), but the Rockets did not cover the 13-point spread. In fact, the Rockets haven't covered as a favorite in any of their last three games.
With Eric Gordon and Chris Paul both questionable for today's game at San Antonio and Harden coming off his big game, there is serious letdown potential for Houston. And San Antonio is a team that will always capitalize on the opportunity to jump on a team that's not operating at 100 percent.
The Rockets are banged up, their best player is spent and they're traveling on the second night of a back-to-back. I'll take the Spurs.
Current Standings: Granger (15-11, $13,009), Brewer (23-19, $10,850), Keefer (21-20-1, $10,056), Grimala (9-14, $5,935)
