| NBA | (545) Houston Rockets at (546) San Antonio Spurs | 7:40pm EST - Nov 7/2025 |
The PLAY: San Antonio Spurs +2.5 (-118)
This is a FREE PLAY on the Spurs.
We have an interesting Southwest Division matchup between the 5-3 Houston Rockets and the 5-2 San Antonio Spurs.
The Rockets are 3-1 straight up and 4-0 against the spread on the road, while San Antonio is both 3-0 straight up and against the spread at home.
Something's "got to give" here on Friday night, and in my opinion, the home-floor advantage simply can't be overlooked as a very real deciding factor in this one in the end.
After two losses to open the season, Houston has now won five straight, including a 124-109 victory at Memphis last time out. They've played against a few struggling teams over that span, though, and now they run into their division rival that's now hungry to snap a two-game slide.
The Spurs are coming off a 118-116 loss at the Lakers, as they lost at the buzzer from a last-second Luka Doncic shot.
San Antonio plays tomorrow at home against the Pelicans, but there's no way it's looking past the Rockets.
Plenty of talent on both sides, but Wemby presents a difficult task for the Rockets to slow down. Also note that the Spurs are in fact a perfect 5-0 against the spread their last five at home.
These are two evenly matched teams, and I think it's safe to say that they're going to be battling each other throughout the season for top spot in the division.
They're evenly matched in many ways, but the home-floor advantage is the difference-maker in this matchup in my opinion, especially with Houston potentially also getting caught "looking ahead" to its tough road game in Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon.
While I feel the outright win is the most likely outcome, in the end, I'll recommend grabbing as many points as you can with the SPURS on Friday night.
Good luck, NP

| NHL | (55) Florida Panthers at (56) Los Angeles Kings | 10:07pm EST - Nov 6/2025 |
The PLAY: Florida Panthers -105
This is a FREE PLAY on the Florida Panthers.
I think at this price that the defending champs are worth a "second look" in this matchup in LA on Thursday night.
Florida is 6-6-1 overall, including just 1-5 on the road. I had the Panthers in their last game in Anaheim, and the Ducks skated away with a convincing 7-3 victory in the end. I've played on Anaheim a couple of times already this year, and they continue to surprise, as I really did like the way that one set up for Florida.
That was at a steeper price, but now I actually feel that the value on the Panthers has increased from their last game.
LA is 6-4-4, but the Kings are only 1-3-2 at home this year.
This is the end of a four-game home stand for the Kings, and after losing the first two games, they bounced back with a 3-0 win over Winnipeg last time out.
But with a six-game road trip upcoming, I think LA is going to get caught "looking ahead" here.
It's a great spot for the Panthers to finally bounce back in. They still have two road games at San Jose and Las Vegas and won't be looking past the Kings whatsoever as they now desperately try to correct the issues they're having closing out games on the road.
Sergei Bobrovsky is expected in net for the Panthers, and he's 6-4 with a 2.81 goals against, while LA turns to Darcy Kuemper, who is 4-3-3 with a 2.57 GAA.
These guys are evenly matched, so they're essentially a "wash."
The difference for me comes down to the intangible and off-ice factors, like the scheduling, and I believe those small things will add up to a solid win for FLORIDA, finally in LA on Thursday night.
Consider the Panthers.
Good luck, NP
