5* Thunder/Rockets NBA Western Conference Game of the Year: Thunder -2.5

The Thunder will be extremely motivated to get a win here tonight after losing their final two games before the All-Star break. Oklahoma City hasn't lost three consecutive games once this season and have had little trouble in their two games against the Rockets. The Thunder won 120-98 at home in late November and 124-94 at Houston in December. In my opinion the Rockets are one of the most overrated teams in the league. They rely too much on the jump shot and don't put any sort of effort on the defensive side of the ball. That's not a good recipe for success against a hungry Oklahoma City team that can score at will. BET THE THUNDER!
