Series History

The Thunder went 1-2 against the Rockets last season (1-0 at home, 0-2 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-2.0)

It’s no secret that the Rockets are the worst team in the league, and because of that alone, the Thunder should be able to cover a measly 2-point spread. Both of these teams are coming off a game last night, but the Rockets have the benefit of being at home. Meanwhile, the Thunder have to travel for tonight’s matchup. Still, OKC is the better team, so they should win this one.

Staff Picks

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (231.5)

The Thunder continues to score in volume behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the stats show that they’re almost 3 times more likely to hit the over than not this season. The Rockets don’t score a lot, but OKC tends to give up plenty, and that’s enough to make me think the trend of hitting the over will continue.
