The Oklahoma City Thunder (64-12) visit the Houston Rockets (50-27) on Friday, April 4, 2025, at the Toyota Center.

The Thunder and the Rockets have faced four times this season, including one play-in game. The Thunder won three of those matches by an average winning margin of 15 points. That doesn't bode well for the Rockets' chances in this next game, especially with the Thunder riding so much momentum.

OKC is on an impressive 11-game winning streak, and have won 18 of their last 19 games. During their current winning streak, the Thunder has produced a 124.8 offensive rating and a 106.6 defensive rating. They've been perfect on both ends of the floor, and they have most of their key rotational pieces available.

The Rockets are also doing good on their end. They've won four of their last five games, with the loss coming through a tight six-point defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. Offense has also propelled the Rockets recently, as they've improved their offensive rating from a season average of 115.4 to 126.5. 

Moreover, the Rockets will get Fred VanVleet back from a short one-game injury layoff. With all key players available, this could be a fireworks show between the Rockets and the Thunder.
