Houston vs San Antonio Prediction 27 February 2025

The team is having a great season and is very likely to make it to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. The main weapon of the Rockets lies in their high pace (2nd place in the league). Let's not forget about their quality defense (conceding an average of 109 points, 6th). Perhaps the distribution of playing time raises some questions. The bench gets undeservedly few opportunities. When the time for decisive matches comes, this might have an impact. But that will be later; for now, the club has recovered from a series of 6 consecutive losses and is gradually getting back on the winning track. In terms of losses, only Fred VanVleet can be noted, who plays a leading role, but overall, he can be replaced. Jalen Green is in good shape and can handle the ball well.

For the "Spurs," these are not the most pleasant times. Only a long stretch will show how serious the loss of Victor Wembanyama is. Much was tied to the Frenchman; he was having a fantastic season but suddenly was ruled out for the rest of the regular season. His pairing with the recently acquired De'Aaron Fox was supposed to break down all barriers in their path. But unfortunately, the former Sacramento leader will have to manage almost on his own. Not all of his partners at the Spurs are having a quality season in terms of statistics, so the task of making it to the playoffs seems almost impossible. The team lacks resilience.
