The Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder clash in the best Tuesday Night game in the NBA. They will meet at the 8 PM ET at Chesapeake Energy Arena
Houston beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-113 in overtime on Sunday with 41 points from James Harden; they have won their last five games in a row.
“Each game is important from here on out,” Harden said. “We’re fighting for positioning. We’re fighting for home-court advantage, so no matter who we play it’s going to be a tough game.”
The Rockets are third in the Western Conference standings; half a game above the Thunder.
Oklahoma City lost their last two games; on Sunday they were shocked by the Lakers 114-110 at the Staples Center.
“We worked on a lot of defensive things that we have to get better at,” coach Scott Brooks told the team’s official website. “One of the things I love about our group is that we’ve always tried to figure out ways to do it together, whether we won a game or are not playing well and losing a game. We still want to figure out how to get better together.
The OKC Thunder is 4 point favorites in the NBA Betting Odds, and the game total is at 208.5 points.
Houston is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games when playing on the road against Oklahoma City. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Oklahoma City’s last 5 games when playing at home against Houston.
