TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH
#561 OKLAHOMA CITY (-6′) over Houston at 7 PM EST
On a roll off four straight wins and covers, Oklahoma City will travel Houston and cash another ticket. The Rockets enter this contest off a huge home upset win over the Suns and this is going to be a difficult encore for head coach Ime Udoka and his squad.
Revenge motivation will have the Thunder fired up for this rematch. Back on December 6th, OKC (-1′) visited the Toyota Center and left with a frustrating 110-101 loss in its pocket. Thankfully, head coach Mark Daigneault and his troops have been one of the best in the league inking a strong 42-18 SU and 38-21-1 ATS record in their last 60 games. In this run battling an opponent that enters with steam off a SU and ATS victory, the Thunder improve to a healthy 19-3 SU and 18-3-1 ATS including an outstanding 11-0 SU and ATS if Oklahoma City takes the floor off a pointspread dub as well.
Respect is certainly given to a Houston team that holds a solid 20-8 SU and 19-8-1 ATS record in its last 28 games. However, when coming off a straight up underdog win, the Rockets have imploded posting a weak 40-54 SU and 34-57-3 ATS mark including a horrible 11-20 SU and 7-23-1 ATS in this set provided they are running the floor against a foe that enters off a SU and ATS win. With those two parameters live and Houston priced as a pooch of +4 or more, this angle slips to a miserable 2-13 SU and 2-12-1 ATS.
Resting a half-game back of the first-place Timberwolves in the Western Conference, the Thunder will grab this win and cover and stay competitive in the race for the No. 1 seed. Take Oklahoma City. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
