Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to the Toyota Center and take on the Houston Rockets this evening. Houston is favored by three points at home here.

OKC has dropped their last five games, but their last win came against the Rockets at home, 101-89.

Houston finally snapped a twelve-game win streak with a pair of home wins over Chicago and Charlotte.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads a feisty young Thunder team. The fourth-year versatile guard is thriving, averaging 20.4 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, and 4.6 assist per game.

Lu Dort has really revved things up this month. The defensive ace has scored 20+points in seven of ten games, and he's averaging a career-high 17.4 ppg.

Rookie guard Josh Giddey has been stuffing the stat sheet and he's grown into a reliable DFS option. The rookie guard is averaging 10.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 5.7 apg.

Houston Rockets

The Rockets have run through veteran Eric Gordon and three young pieces in Christian Wood, Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr.

Wood posted a monster double-double in the win over Charlotte. The sixth-year vet out of UNLV paces Houston in both points (16.4) and rebounds (11.3).

With rookie Jalen Green set to be out for atleast a week, but veteran guard Eric Gordon played big in his absence, scoring a season-high 22 points.

Kevin Porter Jr. is averaging a well-rounded 13.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg, and 5.8 apg.

 

Prediction

Two of the youngest teams in the league will collide in what should a high-scoring game. The Thunder enter with a chance to end this losing skid, but after watching Houston steal these two game at Toyota, a third straight home win isn't out of reach.

Take the Rockets spread this evening.

PICK: Houston Rockets -2.5
