Picking the Houston Rockets Over the Oklahoma City Thunder

(Odds for the Houston Rockets ML is currently around 1.50.)

The Houston Rockets are crazy hot as they come into this game riding a 15 game winning streak. The Oklahoma City Thunder, though not as hot, are still playing relatively well at 6-3 in their last 9 games. The Oklahoma City Thunder won the first meeting with the Rockets by 5 points. The last 5 meetings between these two teams have been decided by no more than 6 points. Considering that the Rockets have Chris Paul while the Thunder no longer have Andre Roberson, I think the pendulum swings towards the Houston Rockets in this one...

My pick is the Houston Rockets ML.

(I am currently in the negative with my picks. Game starts in about 4 hour 5 minutes.)
