Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder Preview & Picks

Oklahoma City are tipped to cover a double digit spread at home.

The in-form Thunder have easily been the NBA’s most reliable spread bet over the past several weeks, and at home they have covered consistently late November.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 12-2-0 ATS in their last 14 games
  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 19-2-0 ATS in their previous 11 home games
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the previous 4 meetings
  • The Over has hit in each of Oklahoma City’s last 6 meetings

Head To Head

  • Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 151-139
  • Oklahoma City Thunder won 111-96 when the two teams last met on December 14

Houston Rockets Form

Houston go into this big Western Conference clash on the back of a loss but in decent form with five of their last eight games.

The Rockets started this sequence by snapping a six-game losing skid with a 94-87 win over Toronto, and backed up that victory by beating Phoenix 119-111.

They then bounced back from a 105-98 loss to Golden State with a 121-115 victory over Minnesota, only to lose 124-115 in Utah.

Houston once again responded quickly to a loss, beating Milwaukee 100-97, and followed it up with a 118-106 success against San Antonio.

The Rockets failed to make it three wins in a row though, losing 113-103 when they hosted Sacramento over the weekend.

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City return home on the back of a successful road trip that saw them extend their great run of form since the start of February.

The Thunder have now won 11 of their previous 13 games; a run that started with a seven-game win streak in the first half of February.

That streak was halted by a 116-101 loss in Minnesota, but they bounced back on the road by beating Utah 130-107 and the Timberwolves 130-123.

Oklahoma City then lost the next meeting with Minnesota at home, 131-128 in overtime, only to rebound with three straight victories on the road.

The Thunder downed Brooklyn 129-121 and Atlanta 135-119, before heading to San Antonio to beat the Spurs 146-132.

Verdict

It is a large spread, but we are confident that Oklahoma City will deliver for us here.

The Thunder’s recent record, both at home and overall, has been outstanding, and they can take advantage of a short-handed Houston team here.
