NBA - 719 Houston Rockets @ 720 Oklahoma City Thunder
Projected Line: Oklahoma City by 14 points
Oklahoma City's offense has been amazing. They are showing a great ball movement lately, something not usual for them and the key has been Russell Westbrook with a nice number of assists. The Thunder has been attacking well on the inside, but it's specially on the perimeter where they've been good: 66% 3pts eFG% on the last seven games! Tonight the Thunder will be fired up, as they will be facing James Harden for the first time since he got traded to the Rockets.
Houston is coming from a blowout win last night, but where they didn't rest their starters: James Harden played 44 minutes, Chandler Parsons 42 minutes, Jeremy Lin 38 minutes and Omer Asik 36 minutes! Houston traveled to Minnesota early on Wednesday to pay respects to coach Kevin McHale and attend the funeral for his daughter, Sasha, and will then travel to Oklahoma City to play Harden's former team at 8 p.m. later tonight. The Rockets are going to be tired and emotionally spent and even though I know they will want to win tonight's game to dedicate the win to their coach, Oklahoma City at home will want to squash them and with the Rockets having no depth on their bench, they won't handle Oklahoma City's huge pace tonight. I believe the Thunder will have a blowout win and so, I'll be taking them in here.
