Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets Prediction: Speak in Favor of the Rockets

Prediction for the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets match, which will take place on February 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Oklahoma City Thunder

Thunder, after an excellent away tour, where they beat Portland (138:129) and Los Angeles Lakers (133:130), losing only to Golden State (114:141), hosted New Orleans on their floor and failed this game. Oklahoma worked well defensively, but it was not in attack – 100:103. Thunder realized only 9 three-pointers out of 20 in the match with the Pelicans and barely reached the 100-point mark. Although, at the moment, they are the fourth attack of the current NBA season.

Houston Rockets

The match with the Thunder will be the third in a row on the road for the Rockets. In the first two, Stephen Silas's team first imposed a fight on Miami, losing only in the very end, and then, by all accounts, was beaten by Philadelphia (104:123). Houston has already had six defeats in a row, and the team should continue to lose. The Rockets are still the last in the West, but a falling San Antonio is rapidly approaching them.

Expert Betting Tips

The opponents' previous match was very productive. Oklahoma even set a franchise record with 153 points. It is unlikely that the opponents will repeat such an insane performance in the upcoming game. All the face-to-face meetings of the Thunder and the Rockets before this and the last championships turned out to be grassroots since the Houston team had already successfully defended in the three-second zone. For the same reason, let's take the Rockets' handicap here. Moreover, the statistics in this confrontation speak in favor of the Rockets.
