BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Oklahoma City's last 9 games.
Oklahoma City are 4-8 SU in their last 12 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Oklahoma City's last 5 games on the road.
Oklahoma City are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Houston.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Houston's last 9 games.
Houston are 4-16 SU in their last 20 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Houston's last 10 games against Oklahoma City.
Houston are 2-10 SU in their last 12 games at home.
Prediction
The Thunder have been playing great offense since their All-Star Gilgeoux-Alexander returned with the team as they have scored over 123 points in their last 10 games but the problem is they're allowing 124 points per game on that strecht. The Rockets have played good lately as they have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and with the return of Eric Gordon and Sengun I think they can keep this game very close. The Thunder had to travel to Houston for this game so the Rockets have some time extra of rest. Give me the Rockets.
PICK: Rockets +2 (-110)
