Over\/Under<\/strong>: 206<\/p>\nAfter a nice run, Oklahoma City (42-27, 40-29 ATS) has finally slumped. The Thunder have dropped three of their past four games, including a 99-96 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. <\/p>\n
Oklahoma City has struggled at the sportsbook, racking up a 2-4 record against the spread in its past six games. The Thunder have been solid if unspectacular at home lately, going 6-4 on NBA odds during their last 10 games at the Ford Center. <\/p>\n
Health issues with Russell Westbrook certainly haven\u2019t helped the Thunder over the past week or so. The young point guard played just 17 minutes in a 121-101 loss to the Pacers last week. <\/p>\n
And while he played 29 minutes in the loss to the Spurs, Westbrook managed just 12 points on 5-13 shooting. He also had a string of four straight games with double-digit assists broken. Westbrook should be fine for the Rockets game, however. <\/p>\n
Houston (36-33, 32-37 ATS) is coming off a 98-88 loss to the Chicago Bulls. The Rockets have lost two of their last three games but, over the past few weeks, they\u2019ve been very solid\u2014going 5-2 over their past seven games. <\/p>\n
Results have been mixed on NBA odds, however, with Houston managing just a 5-5 record in its last 10 games against the spread. No one will mistake the Rockets for road warriors, either, as they\u2019ve covered just five times in their past 10 games away from home. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
The Rockets have been getting inspiring play from Luis Scola. Not including a win over the Knicks last week\u2014Scola scored just four points while battling a stomach virus\u2014the forward has averaged 23.7 points and 12.7 rebounds per game over his last nine outings. Those are All-Star numbers, and it\u2019s paying dividends for Houston. <\/p>\n
Houston has had Oklahoma\u2019s number this season; the Rockets lead the season series 3-0 (they covered each time). They haven\u2019t played since December, though, when Houston won 95-90; the Thunder have were .500 at the time but have gone 29-14 since then. <\/p>\n
Thunder vs Rockets Free Pick:<\/strong> Oklahoma City is struggling a little bit. The Thunder are likely to defend their home turf with a victory but, at 7.5 points, they won\u2019t cover that spread.
