Chip’s FREE NBA Playoff Winner
Thunder/Rockets UNDER – You would think of sparks could happen on the court with the explosive offensive weapons these guys bring to the table. But, in pressure games meaningful game both during the regular season and especially in the post season. Three of the four games that they have split have gone ‘over’ the number and now with OKC back in the hunt the Rockets will have to tighten up on the defensive end and that leads to tightening up on the other end as well.

Frank Sawyer
Take the Houston Rockets minus the points versus the Oklahoma Thunder. Oklahoma City (46-30) has evened this series at 2-2 with their 117-114 upset win over the Rockets on Monday as a 3-point underdog. But the Thunder have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win. Oklahoma City has also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a point spread victory. Houston (46-30) has only covered the point spread twice in their last seven games — but they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after failing to cover the point spread in five or six of their last seven games. And in their last 18 games when they were playing with at least double-revenge, the Rockets have covered the point spread 14 times. Finally, Houston gets Russell Westbrook back for this game after he has missed the first four games in this series with his quad energy — so his return will be a shot of energy for this team. Lay the points with Houston. Best of luck — Frank.
