Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 13-43
The Rockets have had an absolutely nightmarish season, and the franchise’s top brass is hoping that the reward for so much suffering will be to get Victor Wembanyama in the upcoming draft.
One of Houston’s main problems this season has been their offense, as they rank 29th in points per game with an average of 110.1. Regarding three-pointers, they are also one of the worst as they rank 29th with 32.1% per game.
For the franchise, the only remaining motivation this season is for players like Jalen Green, Tari Eason and Alperen Sengun to continue to gain experience going forward.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 27-28
The Thunder have defied expectations throughout the season, and despite having a young squad, they are still competing for a playoff place – even though several commentators criticized them for not trying to add more players before the trade deadline.
When it comes to rookies, Jalen Williams has been one of the campaign’s pleasant surprises. In five games played in February, the 21-year-old is averaging 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and an incredible 2.8 steals.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rockets have surprised the Thunder on a couple of occasions and lead the series 2-1.
Considering that the Rockets traded an important player like Eric Gordon and that the Thunder have been playing very well in their last games, at JefeBet we are leaning towards a win without major inconveniences for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company.
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder Spread.
