Oklahoma City vs. Houston

Houston is without Russell Westbrook, but it didn't matter in Game 1 as the Rockets buried the Thunder, 123-108.  James Harden had 37 points and 11 rebounds and even journeyman Jeff Green chipped in with 22 points while Eric Gordon added 21. Oklahoma City has lost four of its last six games, and the Rockets are 13-5 ATS their last 18 games versus teams with .600 or better winning percentages. Also, Houston has covered six of its last eight conference quarterfinal games and seven of nine overall after a win by at least 10 points. The Rockets are just a small favorite in today's matchup, but look for the result to be similar to the first game of the series. Play the Rockets.
