Thunder vs. Rockets Prediction and Odds: Back OKC to Grab Upset Win

The Houston Rockets have won back-to-back games to improve to 3-16 on the 2021-22 season, and they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. 

OKC is just 6-13 on the season, but it has been one of the best teams in the NBA at covering the spread, going 13-6 (68.4 percent), which is the third best mark in the league. 

Here are the odds for Monday’s game via WynnBET:

• Thunder +2.5 (-110)
• Rockets -2.5 (-110)

Moneyline:

• Rockets: -140

Total:

• 215.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

Thunder vs. Rockets Prediction and Pick

Houston picked up a pair of impressive wins over the Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Hornets, but I’m selling high on the Rockets while I can. 

I am shocked that a Houston team that lost 15 straight games earlier this season is favored in this spot. Yes, the Rockets beat the Thunder in their first meeting, but the team is now missing No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green due to a hamstring injury. 

These are the two worst teams in the NBA in terms of offensive rating this season, but Oklahoma City has a slightly better defensive rating (107.0) than Houston (109.2). The Thunder will have the best player on the floor in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tonight, and I think they come away with the upset win.
