The Houston Rockets will be on the road to take on the OKC Thunder on Wednesday, December 1st. The tip-off is set for 8:00 ET from the Paycom Center.
These two teams just played each other on Monday night in Houston.
Oklahoma City opened up as a 3.5 point favorite and that number has been bet down to 2.5. The total has gone from 213 to 214.5.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets have had a very bad season so far. Unless things go seriously different, they are going to do a lot of losing this year.
It is almost shocking to say, but they have won three games in a row. Can they make it a 4th?
The struggles for this team are not all that surprising. It is not like a lot of people thought this team would do a ton of winning this year. They are in total rebuild mode at the moment.
I do feel this team has some talent on it, but they still have to get developed. They do have a lot of youth at their disposal, which is a good thing.
Houston beat the Thunder on Monday by a score of 102-89. Let us see if they can do it again when they play on Wednesday.
Christain Wood was the leading scorer on Monday with 24 points and 21 rebounds. Garrison Matthews chipped in 19 points as well.
OKC Thunder
Similar to the Rockets, this Thunder team has also really struggled. They are definitely one of the worst teams in the whole NBA.
OKC currently has a record of 6-14, which puts them in 14th place. Yeah, there has not been a whole lot of positivity associated with this club so far in 2021.
To me, this team is similar to the Rockets. They do have some young talent on their squad, but they are not at the level to compete with the top dogs yet. It is going to take some time for that to happen.
These guys will get another crack at the Rockets on Wednesday. I am sure they would like to get some revenge on them, even though this is not a marquee game. Wins matter, folks.
The offense had a very hard time getting into a rhythm when they went against Houston on Monday. Maybe this unit can play better when they are in front of their home crowd.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Rockets are 3-15 SU in their last 18 games.
- The Thunder are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games.
- The total has gone under in 4 of Oklahoma City’s last 5 games against Houston.
Houston Rockets vs. OKC Thunder NBA Prediction:
Wow, this is a matchup between two teams that are very bad at the moment. I am not sure how appealing of a game it is going to be.
After having a day off, it will be interesting to see if the Thunder can make an adjustment when they go against this very same Rockets team.
I do feel that OKC can play better than they did a few weeks ago, but I am not totally sold on them winning the ball game.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Rockets ATS
Listen, the Rockets have had a very bad year overall, but they have played better as of late. Maybe they can win another when they head into OKC.
In this one, I like Houston getting the 2.5 points. I can see this being a very close game and I do not trust laying the wood with the Thunder, even though they have been good ATS recently.
