THE PROFESSOR’S NBA PLATINUM LEVEL SUPER CLUB PICK!
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Houston,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -105.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
The San Antonio Spurs have won three of their past five games and are coming off a 111-108 home win over Minnesota. DeMar DeRozan had 30 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in the win while Jakob Poeltl added 19 points and Dejounte Murray chipped in 15 points with 11 rebounds and six assists. The Houston Rockets have won seven of their past eight games and are coming off a 115-103 road win over Memphis. John Wall had 22 points and eight assists while Eric Gordon added 20 points and Jae’Sean Tate chipped in 19 points. Christian Wood had 17 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury.

Injuries could play a factor for both teams. San Antonio's Rudy Gay sat out on Wednesday and is questionable for Saturday, while LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out once again. Houston's Christian Wood is out with a severe ankle sprain. The Spurs didn't look great in their win over Minnesota and will be left shorthanded in this one as well. John Wall is listed as questionable for the game with back spasms, but he seemed fine playing with a wrap against the Grizzlies. Without Aldridge should be able to penetrate the paint and attack the basket. Dejounte Murray could possibly be sitting out as well, leaving the Spurs with even fewer offensive playmakers. I am taking Houston as the Spur's injuries will be too much for them to overcome.

Play on Houston.
