The pick of the Friday night matches in the NBA will see the Houston Rockets take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at Toyota Center. The Rockets (54-27) are second in the Western Conference, while the Thunder (64-12) lead the conference standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Houston Rockets are enjoying an excellent run of form and notched up their 13th win in 15 in midweek when they dispatched the Utah Jazz 143-105 here at the Toyota Center.
Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks combined for 43 points. Houston shot an impressive 53% from the field and made 19 of 45 from long range. They were 70-46 up by halftime and were able to rest their starters early.
The Rockets average 114.3 points per game (15th in the league), but they are an elite-level defence that allows just 109.0 (fifth overall).
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been the hottest team in the NBA for a while now, currently riding a 12-match win streak after easing past the Pistons 119-103 on Wednesday.
Almost like clockwork, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again led the team to victory with 33 points, three assists and six rebounds, while Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren combined for 45 points.
OKC are top-five on both ends this season, fourth for average points scored per game (119.9) and second for average points against (106.9).
