Thunder vs Rockets ATS Pick: Thunder -6.5 (-110)
The Thunder are back with a bang post-All-Star break, winning their last two games against the Clippers and Wizards by a whopping combined victory margin of 63 points. They smashed their season’s highest score with a 147-106 rout of Washington, thanks to Gilgeous-Alexander’s dazzling 30 points. He’s now buzzing in the MVP chat, overshadowed only by the Thunder’s overall team success. With SGA’s support, this young squad’s NBA betting future is bright for Sunday night.
The last time they met the Rockets, the Thunder slipped in a 110-101 defeat at Houston despite SGA’s cool 33 points. The rest of the team didn’t quite step up, with the next-best scorer only netting 13 points. But with their solid defensive lineup, they’re well-equipped to clamp down on the Rockets this time. Watch for stars like Jalen Williams to step up in the paint and make things happen en route to an ATS win.
The Thunder are my favorite NBA spread Sunday, so bet online accordingly.
Thunder vs Rockets Player Prop: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points (-106)
SGA has been one of the most impressive players and is on pace to make a run at the MVP with an average of 31.1 PPG, 6.6 APG, and 5.5 RPG. Regarding scoring, SGA has 31+ points in four of his last five games, including 38 last week against the Kings. The last time he faced the Rockets, Shai had 33, and I’m predicting a similar outcome on Sunday.
Regarding prop betting, SGA is my best NBA bet on Sunday.
