Rockets vs Thunder Against the Spread Predictions
Rockets vs Thunder against the spread predictions refer to whether the Thunder or Rockets win or lose by the necessary points to cover the spread. For a hypothetical line, we will use the Rockets -5. This means a wager on the Rockets would require them to win by more than five points to be considered a winner. A wager on the Thunder, at +5, would require them to either win the game outright or to lose by fewer than six points to be considered a winner.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets Over / Under Betting
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets Over/Under betting is a way of wagering on the contest without being required to pick the winner of the game. Instead, these wagers are against a set total of combined points in the game. For a hypothetical example, we will use a total set at 224.5 points. Over/Under wagers on this contest would be betting over or under 224.5 combined points for the two teams.
There are many factors to be considered when diving into Over/Under wagering. These factors include pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor.

Houston Rockets vs Thunder Moneyline Predictions
Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play.
Instead of laying or taking the points on the spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on a game, for instance the Rockets vs Thunder Money Line predictions, but want to avoid the point spread, a Money Line wager is worth considering.
For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our Rockets -5 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread play, the Rockets can be bet on to simply win outright while laying odds. The Thunder can be bet on to win the game outright while getting odds.
In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -195 on the Rockets and expect to get about +160 on the Thunder.
With no edge on the all time series the history does not point us to either side of this matchup. History is often not a strong determinging factor on who to play in NBA games, and both the long term and short term history of this series does not point us in either direction.

The NBA carries the most fluid and ever changing odds of all the major sports in the United States. We often see a slow release of odds and against the spread, over/under and money line odds with frequent fluctuation throughout a given day leading up to tipoff. The Thunder vs Rockets odds will not draw a massive betting market from the general public, so just a handful of large wagers could move the lines significantly in one direction or the other.
