This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
For a number of different reasons I expect the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. This is a revenge game for Russell Westrbrook and the home side who have lost the first two meetings. OKC though has done a pretty good job against Rockets big man Dwight Howard this year, holding him to 9.7 PPG on 9 for 25 shooting. Howard had eight points and seven boards in 18 minutes in his team's 108-101 win at Dallas on Thursday. The Thunder are in a dog fight for the West's eighth seed and will surely be the "hungrier" team today after dropping four of their last five, most recently a lacklustre 100-92 setback at Memphis on Friday. Westbrook has carried the load for the most part this year, he'll need his supporting cast to step up and help today, but note that this is in fact a spot in which the Thunder have excelled in for bettors this season, a great 18-13 ATS in revenging a loss vs. an opponent, 22-15 ATS in front of the home town crowd overall and 13-11 ATS in its last 24 vs. good offensive teams which score 99 plus points per contest. And note that this is a position in which the Rockets have been terrible, just 4-7 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and only 3-9 ATS after a divisional contest. In my opinion, the motivational and trend based factors working in favor of OKLAHOMA CITY are just to big to turn down today.
