The Oklahoma City Thunder are showing more and more flashes of being an OK team, and these are games they should win. The Houston Rockets are god awful in terms of results, as they're losing by an average of 12.5 points on the road and 14.9 points in the underdog role. You can't back the Rockets, and you can make a strong argument this line should be a lot steeper. I'll gladly side with OKC and the small chalk.
