A New York Post betting column published on Jan. 29, 2026, highlights shifting odds in the NBA’s Southwest Division and advises gamblers to consider the Houston Rockets as a value play to overtake the San Antonio Spurs.
The report notes that sportsbooks still list San Antonio as the division favorite, but contends that Houston’s current price offers more upside. The writer argues that the Rockets’ recent performances and overall trajectory position them to “catch” the Spurs before the regular season concludes.
While specific odds were not disclosed in the column, the piece emphasizes monitoring line movement and injury reports as the division race tightens.
