Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - November 26 | 2022-23 NBA Season
The Houston Rockets (3-14) are in dire straits this season and are 2-8 in their past 10 games. They will look to begin getting back on track tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder (7-11), a team they defeated the last time they competed.
The Thunder, meanwhile, are not having a particularly hot run this season either. They are coming off their first win in four games - against the Chicago Bulls - heading into tonight's clash. To build off that win successfully, the Thunder will need to work on their defense, which has been a notable weakness for them all season.

Rockets vs. Thunder Betting Prediction
Despite their recent setbacks and hit-and-miss showings, the Thunder are still the considerably stronger team of the two. In both offense and defense, they hold a notable edge over the ailing Rockets. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has shone this season for the Thunder and will likely give the Rockets a lot of trouble on offense.
The bad news continues to pile up for the Rockets here as some of their finest players may miss tonight due to injury. Given how much the Houston outfit are already struggling at the moment, the potential absences of Gordon and Sengun could be too much to bounce back from tonight.
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder -3 (-107)
