Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and they’ve been cash cows in preseason play these last couple of years. However, both the Rockets and Thunder are young, play with pace and are capable of putting on a show. Both full of players eager to prove themselves in this league. These are teams that should do well in the preseason. Because of that, I’m going to grab the points with the Rockets. Basically, I’m interested in points with either of these teams in preseason play. Just so happens to be the Rockets tonight.
