Thunder vs. Rockets NBA Summer League Betting Preview

8 p.m. ET

Happy Saturday to you all! Yesterday was a great start to the Summer League. We went 4-0 and easily cashed our free play on the Cavaliers.

Our play tonight will be on the showdown between Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets.

The Thunder drafted Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga with their second overall pick, and the Rockets drafted Jabari Smith from Auburn with their third overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft.

The Thunder have looked good so far. They played in a tournament before the Vegas one in Utah and went 2-1. Josh Giddey and Chet Holmgren have been an absolute duo.

The Thunder have a deep Summer League team with solid experience behind them! I expect them to ball out again tonight in front of a big crowd.

The Rockets have already played one game in Vegas so far. They got beat by the Orlando Magic by 14, in which we were on the Magic side and enjoyed an easy cash.

The Rockets got three first-round draft picks this year and took Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and TyTy Washington. All three of these guys are solid, but betting Summer League is also about the experience.

The Thunder have meshed well so far, and I think they handle business tonight.

I locked in this line at a pick’em last night, but I still like the three points. I expect a 5- to 7-point Thunder win!
