Don't miss the Texas showdown between the Rockets and Spurs on Friday. The Rockets already showcased their power in their season opener, with Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. combining for 30 points each to defeat the Mavericks. It was a tremendous debut, with the Rockets even leading by 32 points at halftime.
This Rockets team looks quite well-built. VanVleet had a night of 11 assists and six points, returning after missing last season with an ACL injury. Meanwhile, Segun added 23 points and 10 rebounds.
Even so, sportsbooks have the Spurs favored at -190 odds to win at the Frost Bank Center. The Spurs had a rough debut against the Thunder, but the reigning NBA finalists lost, with their star Wembanyama finishing with 12 points and 13 rebounds but going 1-for-13 from the field.

Our San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Rockets leave the Toyota Center, but they come away emboldened after a game in which they even held a 37-point lead. They capitalized on their opponents' mistakes, drawing 32 points from the Mavs.
In contrast, the Spurs looked rusty; it was evident in a disappointing second quarter where the game slipped away from them and they only managed 16 points. They rallied in the second half, cutting the Thunder's lead, but their efforts fell short.
Our prediction for Spurs vs Rockets is: Rockets ML.
