Who’s Playing
Houston @ Oklahoma City
Current Records: Houston 1-13; Oklahoma City 5-8
What to Know
The Houston Rockets are on the road again Wednesday and play against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 17 at Paycom Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Houston took a serious blow against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, falling 136-102. The Rockets were down 105-71 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Shooting guard Jalen Green (15 points) and small forward Jae’Sean Tate (14 points) were the top scorers for Houston.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 43-43 at halftime, but Oklahoma City was not quite the Miami Heat’s equal in the second half when they met on Monday. Oklahoma City took a 103-90 bruising from Miami. Shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with ten points on 2-for-11 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.
The Rockets are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
The losses put Houston at 1-13 and the Thunder at 5-8. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Houston enters the matchup with 22.4 fouls drawn per game on average, which is the best in the league. But Oklahoma City comes into the game boasting the second fewest fouls per game in the league at 17. The ref’s whistle might dictate the flow of action in this one.
