T.M. Selection: Houston vs Oklahoma City in Vegas - OVER

I am on the OVER in the Houston Rockets vs Oklahoma City Thunder game on Saturday, December 14th. Each team off unders and the Rockets under was particularly low-scoring but both teams come into this Emirates Cup Vegas showdown red hot. There will be a better flow to this game as the Thunder force the tempo. The Rockets were averaging 116 ppg in the dozen games before tight win over Warriors. The Thunder are averaging 119 ppg in last 8 games. These teams are overwhelming their opponents with talent across their starting lineup and it extends to their bench. Rockets have a few stars, that's for sure. But I don't believe that they can keep up with Oklahoma City. However, they still do have Sengun plus Green and VanVleet so I believe that they'll keep it close for the most part. That helps lead to points late in game when the margin remains tight and keeps one team fouling late. Therefore, I expect a high scoring game making this an OVER bet on Saturday.

T.M. Prediction: 114-109 Thunder.

Line: O/U 213
