Oklahoma City @ Houston

Current Records: Oklahoma City 24-19; Houston 26-15

What to Know

The Houston Rockets have the luxury of staying at home another game and will welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder at 5 p.m. ET on Monday at Toyota Center. Houston struts in flaunting some offensive muscle with an average of 118.61 points per game.

The Rockets came up short against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, falling 124-115. Houston got a solid performance out of PG Russell Westbrook, who had 35 points and seven assists in addition to nine boards; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. Westbrook's evening made it four games in a row now in which he has scored at least 30 points.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City didn't have too much trouble with the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday as they won 119-106. It was another big night for PG Chris Paul, who had 30 points and seven assists.

Houston is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Houston against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.

The Rockets are now 26-15 while Oklahoma City sits at 24-19. The Thunder are 12-11 after wins this year, and the Rockets are 9-5 after losses.
