The teams haven't played since Monday when Oklahoma City pulled out a 117-114 win to even the series at two games apiece. The layoff gave Russell Westbrook more time to heal and he is expected to play today after looking fine in practice. The Rockets, as usual, are relying on the 3-point shot, but many of them weren't going down the last two games. Houston is 14-6 its last 20 games against teams with .600 or above winning percentages. James Harden is ready to break out of a slight shooting slump after going 11 of 39 from 3-point distance the last three games and the addition of Westbrook will take some of the pressure off. Lay the points with the Rockets.
