Wednesday will be the fourth time the Rockets and Thunder have faced off this season, with the last three all coming in the month of February. Houston emerged victorious in the first two matchups before Oklahoma City came out on top by a score of 153-121 on Feb. 4. Momentum is on its side.

Oklahoma City has been great at home, posting a 16-12 record to go along with an average scoring margin of +4.6. The Thunder average 119.9 points per game at the Paycom Center, which means the Rockets may have a hard time competing. They average 110.2 points per away game (No. 26 in NBA).

Houston has lost 10 of its last 11 games on the road, so fade the Rockets in Oklahoma City tonight.

Final Score Prediction: Thunder: 125 | Rockets: 110

Thunder vs. Rockets Best Bet

Eric Gordon was the Rockets' leading scorer (25 points) in the team's most recent win against the Thunder, which is notable considering he was traded away at this year's deadline. Houston now lacks any kind of reliable scoring depth and is a dismal 6-14 against the spread (ATS) in its last 20 games.

Oklahoma City is 13-5 ATS in its last 18 games overall and 13-6 ATS in its last 19 home games. No only that, but the Thunder are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games against the Rockets. Five of those 11 games resulted in a double-digit win for OKC, too. Look for the Thunder to run up the score here.

Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder -10 (-110)
