OKC Thunder vs. Rockets key matchup and prediction

With both squads netting a victory on Friday they enter this match riding a high. The question is whether the Rockets (or Thunder) want to truly win this matchup knowing at season end every win can hurt their draft lottery position.

The OKC Thunder already have double the victories of the Rockets with three extra games in hand, so they are already playing catch-up if you will.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to put on impressive performances and establish himself as one of the best young players in the game.

On the opposite side of the hardwood, the Rockets have a group of young talents who are still figuring out their chemistry and how to win. Sophomore Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. lead the charge for Houston with rookie Jabari Smith Jr. is coming off a big night versus his hometown Hawks.

Although it might behoove the Thunder to lose this match, that just doesn’t seem to be in their DNA. Therefore I’m rolling with the oddsmakers and picking the Thunder to win and cover.
