The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Houston Rockets on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.
This will be the third matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC has won the first two, with its latest victory happening on Jan. 15.
The Thunder (40-12) continue their journey without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They punted to the San Antonio Spurs in a 116-106 loss on Wednesday amid the NBA trade deadline hoopla. Kenrich Williams scored 25 points and Jaylin Williams scored 24 points.
Meanwhile, the Rockets (31-19) are surrounded by bad vibes. They had a 109-99 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. Kevin Durant had 31 points, but nobody else really showed up.

Well, this is a doomsday scenario. The Thunder lose all of their intimidation without Gilgeous-Alexander. Once he went down, it’s now about surviving the next couple of weeks. Call me crazy, but I think this could be a win they could steal. The vibes are bad for the Rockets. Ime Udoka has called out Sengun’s traffic-cone defense. They rely too much on Durant. With the Thunder being semi-healthy with Holmgren and Hartenstein back, they should turn this into a low-scoring affair and barely get the much-needed home win. Doesn’t need to be pretty or convincing. Think we all know how important the reigning MVP is to their health.
Prediction: Thunder 97, Rockets 93
