Houston at Oklahoma City

Premium Pick

Oklahoma City is 38-45-1 UNDER in the regular season and playoffs. They had stayed UNDER five in a row before Wednesday's 115-111 loss at Houston, which barely went over by 1.5 points in spite of a 51-point outburst by Russell Westbrook. Houston has gone UNDER in four of its last six games as the line makers continue to post high totals for these teams. The Rockets allow an average of 109.3 points compared to 106.1 for Oklahoma City, which shot just 41.2 percent in Game 2 even with Westbrook's outburst. Houston will be focused on not allowing the Thunder to storm out to a huge halftime lead again, and Oklahoma City will be forced to focus defensively in an almost must-win situation. Nine of the last 11 meetings at Oklahoma City have gone UNDER and the Rockets are 9-3-1 UNDER their last 13 road games and 12-4 UNDER after an ATS loss. Play the UNDER in both the first half and for the game.
