Who Will Win: Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Finishing the bio-bubble, all teams got to their regular schedule for this season in the NBA. There will be a group match of Houston Rockets Vs Oklahoma City Thunder. An interesting fact about this match would be both the teams are on the exact opposite side considering the mindset. Houston Rockets will play this match with momentum on their side because they had the top seed in the Western Conference. 

In contrast, Oklahoma City Thunder is lagging with some confidence issues. OKC Thunders aren't having a great season of Westerns Conference. So, it will be worth watching whether Houston Rockets continue to dominate the OKC Thunders or Oklahoma Thunders have found some remedy over their confidence issue. Therefore, without wasting much time here, let's move to the main topic of our article.

Preview for Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunders have a satisfactory record in this NBA Bubble. One of the best sources for them is they have rested their key players before this match. So now they are all set to fire against the Houston Rockets. There is no surprise that the Oklahoma City Thunders have one of the mind-blowing defenses this season. 

They are so taking this as a fair chance they would love to enjoy this opportunity. One more positive thing for OKC Thunders will be the absence of Russell Westbrooks from the Houston Rockets’ side. So, they would love to capitalize on this chance and be on the winning track once again.

Players to watch out from OKC Thunders 

Chris Paul will be having some emotional issues because he will be playing against his former team. But that could be an advantage for Oklahoma City Thunders as he may know some hidden weakness of the team. So, he can be a valuable player for the OKC Thunders in this match. He would also love to take revenge against Houston Rockets and show them what loss they had done to their side by trading a valuable player like him.

The defense line would be dependent upon Steven Adams so his being in the form will be a piece of great news for all the Thunders fans.

Preview for Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets started their campaign this season with victory in straight four matches out of the five they've played. The invention of the small- ball formula from Houston Rockets is paying a good advantage for Houston side's this season. But their main concern is defense and that too in the absence of Russel Westbrook. They are looking faint this season because of his unavailability. Everything will depend on their offense side because all their offensive players are in the right touch, so if they have their day, no one can pull them back.

Players who can take Rockets on the winning side

Beard Man James Harden, from the Rockets side, will be a center of attraction for this match. He has provided a maximum of points for Rockets this season and is table topper of the season. So Rockets will be hoping for the same show against Oklahoma City Thunder from his side. 

One disadvantage of James is his playoff games. He chokes himself in important matches which make people call him Chokers. But he will be eager to erase this unwanted tav from his name against Oklahoma Thunders.
