NBA - 515 Oklahoma City Thunder @ 516 Houston Rockets
Projected Line: Oklahoma City by 10 points
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
Houston will play their fourth game in five nights, with this game being also a back to back game, as they lost last night in San Antonio. On the other hand, Oklahoma City had one day to rest and prepare for this game, after beating Dallas at home on overtime last Thursday Night. This is a very poor spot for the Rockets and this is especially bad for them, as they have very little depth on their roster. They depend a lot from their starting lineup and yesterday against the Spurs, Chandler Parsons played 44 minutes, James Harden 41 minutes and Jeremy Lin 36 minutes. With Carlos Delfino questionable due to illness, the options the Rockets have on their roster get even more reduced. Now against a top team like Oklahoma City, they will heavily struggle tonight.
The Thunder are #1 on pick and roll ball handler defense and therefore, I believe they will do a good defensive job, especially with Thabo Sefolosha and Russell Westbrook defending the Rockets backcourt. Houston's defense is quite poor as seen yesterday and they are especially bad on transitions, where Oklahoma City will absolutely pound them tonight. With the Rockets on a poor spot, they won't be able to hang in the score on a very fast paced game against a team in a decent spot and with players like Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Martin. I expect an easy win for the Thunder in here and so, I'll be taking them on this contest on a Double Dime Play!
