Houston Rockets Notes
The Rockets have not only won their last six games; they’ve crushed their opponents during them. Each of Houston’s last six wins has been by double digits and the average margin of victory over this stretch has been a staggering 25.8 points per game.
It hasn’t all been scrubs either as the winning streak includes a 112-85 win over Denver and a 135-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Houston’s recent surge brings the team’s record to 20-3 SU and 14-7-2 ATS over its last 23 games.
Over their last 11 road games, the Rockets are 9-2 SU and 7-3-1 ATS per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Oklahoma City Thunder Notes
Coming on the heels of a 2-7 SU and ATS slump over their previous nine games, the Thunder have finally strung some wins together over their last three games with a 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS start to the month of April. All three of these wins have come against opponents with below-.500 records, however.
The remaining two games of the regular season will be much bigger tests as Oklahoma City hosts Houston on Tuesday and then wraps up the season on the road in Milwaukee.
The OVER is 3-0-1 in Houston’s last four games at sports betting sites
There are still plenty of possibilities in the Western Conference playoff picture including a potential first-round matchup between these two teams in the three-seed vs. six-seed or the two-seed vs. seven seed series. With three losses in their last four games against the Thunder, the Rockets would love to end that slump with a road win over Oklahoma City in this one.
