The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Houston Rockets tonight to open up a much-needed six game home stand. This contest marks just the fourth home game of the season for the Thunder.
Oklahoma City enters with just one loss on the year after dropping Wednesday’s contest in Denver 124-122.

That was an uncharacteristic game in more ways than one. From superstars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander posting eight turnovers to the defense surrendering over 100 points for just the third time this season giving up their largest point total of the year.

Houston comes in on a two game winning streak turning in a 5-3 record to start the season and for the second straight season looking vastly improved.
