Houston comes into this game fresh off a 119-107 overtime loss, where James Harden had another impressive performance, finishing the game with 38 points, before fouling out in overtime. With Harden out in overtime the Thunder closed out the game on a 15-3 run to get the win.
With their all star point guard, Russell Westbrook out, Jeff Green and Eric Gordon have been stepping up big time in this series, with both of them averaging almost 20 points per game each.
Harden being defended by Dort has been on a slump from 3-point land only shooting at a 29.7 percent clip and just 3 out 13 in the last game, but our numbers have him stepping it up big in this game, so we’re going to roll with his player prop on the over 3 point shots made when the line comes out.
Houston is 2-4 against the spread in their last 6 games and the total has gone under in 10 of the Rockets last 15 games.
Oklahoma City comes into this game fresh off an impressive game 3 win where they had four players put up 20+ points and everyone seemed to finally be on the same page offensively. As good as Saturday’s win may feel, oddsmakers still have the Rockets as -525 favorites to win the the series, but if they keep up those kind of offensive numbers, it makes the Thunder a real tough team to beat on any night of the week. Oklahoma City is 2-4 against the spread in their last 6 games and the total has gone over in 5 of the Thunder’s last 7 games.
Your free pick in this game 4 matchup between the Rockets vs Thunder, we’re rolling with the Rockets to go over 57 Total Points in the First Half at the -115 price.
