A battle of 1-loss teams will take place tonight in Houston. The Houston Rockets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder have been dealing with big injury issues as they have lost Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren, and more importantly, Jalen Williams to long-term injuries. While their losses are troublesome, they still have one of the best players in the world in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Ajay Mitchell has also stepped up in an expanded role and is averaging just over 18 points per game to this point. They are coming off an ugly 120-96 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. SGA and Mitchell combined for 50 of those 96 points, but got little help from the rest of the starters. They combined for just 27 more points. Jared McCain, Hartenstein, and whoever they decide to be the 5th starter need to score more than 30 points combined going forward.
The Rockets are also coming off a loss to the Dallas Mavericks. They blew a 7-point halftime lead and allowed 41 points in the final quarter to lose 116-111. Kyrie dropped 35 for the Mavericks in the win, and Durant finished with 28 to lead the Rockets. Alperen Sengun, the Rockets’ leading scorer, was out with an injury and is questionable to play in this matchup with the Thunder.

Our Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
While there a injuries to both team’s higher-level scorers, we still believe these teams will do enough to get the total over the number tonight. When they have met in the recent past, defense as seemed to be optional for each team. The Rockets are 2nd in the league in points per game and are just short favorites here at home. If the Thunder are going to stay in this one, it is going to be on the offensive end.
Our prediction for Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Over 217.5
