Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King in NBA Predictions
The second semi-final in the NBA Cup sees the OKC Thunder taking on the Houston Rockets at the neutral T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The winner of this match advances to the final where they will take on either Milwaukee or Atlanta. Let’s get started on the prediction!
Both teams topped their respective groups with a 3-1 record. OKC finished ahead of the Suns, Lakers, Spurs and Jazz while Houston beat out the Clippers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Kings.
OKC’s quarter-final matchup saw them take on an in-form Dallas Mavericks team that had won seven straight games. It was another brilliant defensive performance by the Thunder as they held Luka Doncic to just 16 points en route to a 118-104 home win.
The hosts sit atop the Western Conference standings at 19-5, tying them for the second best record in the NBA. They come into this contest having won eight of their last 10 which includes their last four in a row.
The Rockets have been one of the surprise teams of the 2024/25 season. They made great progress to finish .500 last year and have built on that to where they now sit second in the West standings with a 17-8 record.
Houston edged out the Warriors 91-90 in their semi-final clash which marked their second win in a row.
