Rockets to Make Life Tough for Thunder

Let’s back the Rockets who have been given an appealing +6.5 on the spread. We think -110 can be taken with confidence that they cover the line against the Thunder.

Thunder Won When They Last Played Rockets

Houston Rockets made it nine consecutive wins after a 110-92 home success over Portland Trail Blazers at Toyota Center. Jalen Green ran up a total of 27 points and made 3 assists. He scored 9 field goals. 5 two-pointers and 4 three-pointers.

Oklahoma City Thunder have landed two consecutive home wins. Their last game was a 119-112 road triumph at Smoothie King Center when meeting New Orleans Pelicans. On the points front, Jalen Williams recorded 26, Josh Giddey 25 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 24.

The Thunder have claimed victories in the last two encounters against the Rockets. At Toyota Center, the scoreline was 123-110 and then we saw 112-95 at Paycom Center. The past 10 games H2H record shows that both teams have five wins.

Confirmed Starting Lineups

Houston Rockets lineup: Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith.

Oklahoma City Thunder lineup: Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace.

Micro Betting

Instead of focusing on the overall outcome, some basketball bettors prefer to look at the micro betting lines. As the name suggests, it means placing short-term in-game wagers and this might include Next Field Goal, with the options being for a two-pointer or a three-pointer.
