Oklahoma City vs. Houston

August 26, 2020

Oklahoma City was down 2-0 in this series, but they have rallied back to even the series at two games apiece with consecutive wins. They will ride that momentum into a crucial Game 5. Historic odds say Houston is the team that should win here, as a team favored in the series is 58-20 SU to win Game 5 when tied at 2-2. This is a different set of circumstances because this series has been built on a neutral court, and Russell Westbrook is missing. The Rockets are jacking up 3s at a record pace, and Harden is kind of standing on an island without Westbrook. I like the mojo here of the Thunder, and will play Oklahoma City on the moneyline.
