Premium Pick

The teams have split two meetings this season, including Houston's 119-116 win on Dec. 1, the only loss for Oklahoma City in a nine-game span. The Thunder can avenge that defeat tonight in Las Vegas as they battle in the Emirates Cup semifinals. The Thunder beat Dallas 118-104 on Tuesday when Shai-Gilgeous Alexander scored 39 points for the Thunder, who hit 20 of 50 3-pointers. Oklahoma City has covered four straight, and all as a favorite. The Rockets were fortunate to beat Golden State 91-90 and didn't cover as a 3-point favorite. Houston missed 27 of 33 from beyond the arc against the Warriors. Houston is 3-12 ATS when not at home against Oklahoma City. Lay the points with the Thunder.

1 unit on Oklahoma City -5.5 (-110) (risk 1 to return 1.91)
