I took the Thunder to cover at -5.5 last night after the win over the Pelicans in New Orleans, and the line has already moved quite a bit in OKC’s direction. I still feel pretty good about the cover, despite the fact that they had to travel back to OKC last night only to play again tonight. Houston is coming off a day of rest, but they’re missing Alperen Sengun, who has been particularly bothersome to the Thunder. Still, the Rockets have won 9 in a row and 11 of their last 13, and they’re just one game back of the Golden State Warriors from the play-in. Regardless, I’m taking OKC to take care of business at home and cover the spread, even if it’s not by much.
