Oklahoma City was embarrassed on Saturday, losing by 34 points to the Rockets while shooting a miserable 31.5 percent. The emotional swings are dramatic in the playoffs and I'll look for the Thunder to come out ready to atone for its Game 5 performance. The Thunder obviously suffered a huge letdown after winning the previous two games, which both were close to the end. The UNDER is 8-2 the last 10 games the Rockets have played with one day of rest and Houston is 11-5 UNDER against teams with winning records. Oklahoma City has covered 11 of 14 after losing by at least 10 points, but look for the outright victory in tonight's matchup. Also, the Thunder is 47-21-1 UNDER its last 69 games as an underdog. Play the Thunder on the money line plus the UNDER.
