    Thunder in Game 3 now with Westbrook out

    To me this is insane value. We essentially get OKC as a toss-up in Houston because Westbrook is out. Reggie Jackson will fill in admirably and the Thunder will overcome this devastating news.

    I really believe this is a situation where we are getting some incredible value - I will be all over the Thunder.

    I liked the Rockets +3 with Westbrook healthy, I do not think he is worth 3 points though, the dude takes too many shots, value is probably on OKC here, although this game is pretty much a toss-up as the line suggests.

    Thunder play well on the road as well. Second best road record behind the Heat.

    I liked Houston before the injury and still kind of like Houston. Curious to see where the line goes on this.

    reggie jackson is no russell westbrook


    this sets okc back at least 3 years imo, and even then they had james harden

    Thunder will not be messing about in this game. Durant drops 40+ and they blow the Rockets out for taking Westbrook out of the equation. They got no chance against the Spurs or Heat now though. Playoffs just got less exciting again, like with the Rose injury last year.

    I feel like OKC will miss Westbrook's defense and rebounding more than anything.

    Jackson isn't a scrub. OKC will be ok for the time being.

    Durant will be fine. Curious to see what Kevin Martin does now. Thunder haven't asked him to do much at all, now he'll probably have to start scoring 18+ a game.

    Kevin Martin is a scorer. He'll have no issue taking it to any perimeter defender on Houston.

    Martin doesn't matter much. He will score when needed but this game does not hinge on him.

    This seems like a classic case of taking the Thunder in game three, and if they lose doubling up on them in game four.

    They will win one of the two for sure.

    Said the same shit in another thread, typical overreaction to a star out.

    already pounded OKC -113 ML...one of my favorite angles...the first game after a major star injury usually goes to the team that lost the star. In this case, believe it or not, the team that needs this win more is OKC in order to establish themselves still as legitimate playoff contenders.

    good call Twizzle..gl all

    If you don't realize how much the thunder players, specially kevin durant, will want to sweep the penetrate out of the rockets for Westbrook, you haven't been watching the Thunder. They will be starving to eat those guys alive.

    I hope those useless scrubs Fisher or Perkins knock the penetrate out of Patrick bevearly. No really. flagrant 2 please Perkins. It would be great for the Thunder: Perkins wouldn't be able to play and they would get revenge!
