At 22-5 to open the season, the Spurs they continue to be an elite team even without future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan. At 21-7, Houston has established themselves as a player in the rugged NBA Western Conference. There is, however, a caveat to the Rockets start. They are 17-1 vs. teams with a winning percentage of less than .540, and just 4-6 vs. teams with a winning percentage greater than .540. They have been out-scored by these teams by over three points per game. The Spurs are an unthinkable 14-1 SU on the road, out-scoring opponents by nine ppg. They have already won at Golden State, and here in Houston this season, and are a scant four points from being 15-0 on the road. It's tough to buck the numbers in this one, so play on San Antonio.
