    The question should be, "Can the Rockets come within 20 points tonight?".

      The Rockets have lost all 3 games this year by 20 points. See them losing this one by at least 10 also.

        How the hell this game started out as a Pick'em is beyond me. -4 still looks good right now for OKC.

            Anytime James Harden is on your team look to bet the other side

                  If Houton goes out there to a shooting contest, with no defense, they are ******...
                  Just ask Westbrook

                  Even if Houston cover the spread, doesn't mean they will win the game.

                            Rockets have only played 1 game here with Howard healthy - the blowout loss to the champs - so a bit of an over reaction me thinks. Rockets pose serious matchup problems for the Thunder.

                              Care to explain?

                              Westbrook is a nightmare matchup for Ty Lawson. You're gonna need James Harden to guard Westbrook as much as possible. Also a bad matchup for Harden.

                              Beverly on Westbrook = bad matchup for Beverly. Guy is way too small and plays way too close to the ball. Westbrook will blow by him every time, lead to help from dwight, leads to easy buckets down low

                              Rockets bench....Capella Terry....these guys are average players at best....Don't know about this rockets team right now.

                              Waiters on Harden for majority of the game. Robertson sometimes. They will give him different looks with Westbrook and Durant on occasion as well.

                              Ariza on Durant in crunch time?

                              Dwight guarded by Ibaka and Kanter and Adams in different spurs throughout the game

                              Without Terrence Jones, maybe the rockets go small. They start Thorton. Let Harden guard Durant, Ariza on Ibaka, Lawson on Westbrook.

                              I see matchup problems for the Rockets all around...

                                Can you please explain how Rockete cause matchup problems for Thunder?

                                  Is there an echo? Rockets cause matchup problems for the thunder because they can go 4 out 1 in. Thunder defense is not nearly the same as when ibaka is 'out'. They will most likely go small to match up, but that's not ideal for them. Should be a high scoring game.

                                    Don't expect Harden to guard Westbrook unless Westbrook plays off-guard. They'll save him for offense as always.

                                      Thunder frequently roll with lineups including both Augustine and Westbrook and Waiters and Durant at the 4 Ibaka at the 5....

                                      Expect James Harden to guard Westbrook or Durant a decent amount and for Ariza to check the other one when Patrick Beverly is not in the game.

                                      WHen Beverly comes in he will guard Westbrook. Another disastrous matchup for Houston.

                                      Bad matchups for the rockets all around

                                        Big difference between doing it a few mins here & there vs all game. They'll have to give extra mins to morrow/ singler/ roberson instead of kanter/ adams. Why do you think the Orlando game was so close? Ibaka can't guard Howard anymore than he can guard vucevic. Rockets have played like shit, but i think smallball is definitely in their favour.

                                            Harden won't dare cover Westbrook. He'll waste too much energy doing so and he's worried about offense and winning MVP. Take OKC & OVER.

                                              Rockets are playing like trash right now. Last night they got embarrassed by the Heat. Not sure if they correct the mess within 24 hours.

                                                Rockets are 0-3 with all three losses by more than 20 points & now they're going to beat OKC? I don't think so.

                                                    Its games like this that look too easy that become too close or comfort. I thought the line would be a lot more than 4 but I am not complaining. Should be another 20 point loss for houston.
