Despite losing three straight games, the Houston Rockets are still 31-14 over their last 45, and have been amongst the best teams in the NBA over the 45-game stretch. They will likely be playing once again without the services of Dwight Howard. They are catching the Thunder at a very good time, who emptied the tank last night against the San Antonio Spurs at home, to bring to an end the Spurs long winning streak. The Thunder will surely face a letdown tonight, especially on the road where they don't have the fans to help them energize. The Thunder have not been playing well on the road where they are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven, while the Rockets stepping up vs. the elite at 4-0 ATS in their last four vs. a team over .600. Take the Rockets.
