Season series: Thunder lead 2-1; OKC has covered 2 of the 3 meetings with the Under going 2-0-1

The Rockets enter on a season-high 9-game win streak while covering 6 in a row and 12 of the past 13 contests. The Under cashed against Portland last time out in a 110-92 win, but the Over is on a 5-1 run for Houston.

The Thunder eased by the New Orleans Pelicans 119-112 on the road Tuesday night and now face the quick turnaround with a home game against the red-hot Rockets. While OKC has won 5 of the past 6 outings, it is just 3-8 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 11 contests. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City is 6-4 straight up (SU) and ATS in the 2nd end of a back-to-back while cashing the Over at an 8-2 clip this season with no rest.

Rockets at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 120, Rockets 116

Moneyline

The Thunder (-260) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, but that’s quite expensive since the Rockets (+215) have been red hot, and OKC is playing in the 2nd end of a back-to-back against another playoff-caliber team.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The ROCKETS +6.5 (-110) are a solid play on the road. Houston has been red hot lately, winning 9 in a row, while covering at a blistering 12-1 ATS pace.

The Thunder -6.5 (-110) have also been winning, posting a 5-1 SU mark in the past 6 games, but Oklahoma City is just 3-8 ATS in the previous 11 outings.

Over/Under

OVER 231 (-110) is worth a look here.

The Over is an amazing 8-2 in 10 games this season when the Thunder are playing on no rest. There is risk, as the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games at home, including the most recent meeting with Houston (Feb. 27).

However, the total has gone high at a 3-3 clip for the Thunder in the past 6 games, while the Rockets have hit the Over in 5 of the past 6 contests.
