Betting On The Odds Craps

The Thunder (8-11) and Rockets (10-9) will face off for the second game in a row. Houston beat Oklahoma City by 30 points on Monday.

Even though it’s a rematch, lineups will look quite different, as both Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Rockets guard John Wall are listed as out for the game.

How to watch:Thunder vs. Rockets

Advice and prediction

Without Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup, I can’t in good conscious recommend anyone betting the Thunder. They have a surprising number of players who average double-digit points, but the third-year guard is what makes it all work. With the absence of Gilgeous-Alexander and George Hill, along with head coach Mark Daigneault saying that Aleksej Pokusevski departed for the G League on Monday, the Thunder is missing a star, a veteran and a third rotation piece. They’re thin. Hamidou Diallo and Theo Maledon are the only active guards.

The Rockets will be without John Wall, but they dismantled Oklahoma City in a variety of ways on Monday. He was good, but one of several reasons Houston won. I say they beat OKC again.

Uk Betting Tips

Also — and this may be a tough sell after watching Houston put up 136 on Monday — I’d take the under. Gilgeous-Alexander and Wall are two of the best offensive weapons on these teams. I expect it to be a lower scoring affair.
