San Antonio at Houston

The Houston Rockets have finally put all the pieces together to make a long playoff run. They know the Championship goes through San Antonio, so expect a message to be sent tonight. San Antonio coach, Greg Popovich is often known for resting starters at this point, and Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli are likely to sit and would not be surprised by limited minutes to others here. Matt Bonner has a case of food poisioning and is a game time decision. Houston has turned it up a notch at home vs. elite road teams where they are 5-0 ATS in their last five vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. One team is focused, the other is resting. San Antonio may put up a fight, but in the end, Houston scores the win. Play Houston on the moneyline.
