Arguably, the most exciting NBA game of the day will be the clash between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. Their only clash this season was settled in OT with OKC emerging victorious thanks to a 1-point difference. Let's get into this match prediction.
After back-to-back losses to the Suns and Hornets, the Thunder have bounced back with four straight wins. They beat the Jazz, Grizzlies, and Heat, but are most excited about their latest victory over the second-placed Spurs, who are responsible for three of their seven defeats this season.
Their record for the season sits at 34-7, which is widely impressive but off track of breaking the Warriors' 73-9, which OKC must've hoped to do. Their focus now lies in the next meeting against a tough Rockets side. Houston just beat the Bulls 119-113 to break their three-game losing streak.
The Rockets are now cautious to avoid further slip-ups that could threaten their 6th position, the final automatic playoff spot. However, they couldn't have asked for a worse opponent than the current best team in the league. Still, going toe-to-toe with OKC and only losing by one point in overtime should give the Rockets some confidence.

Our Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
We should be in for another high-output game from both teams despite OKC’s rock-solid defence. That's mainly because a defense-first approach against the Rockets can be deadly. That works for us, as high volume from OKC almost always guarantees a ton of points from SGA, who has the third-highest usage rate in the league.
He already averages 31.9 points per game, and scored 30 against the Rockets before overtime in their earlier season clash. Hence, our Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction is that SGA scores 30+ points.
