Thunder vs Rockets predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 110, Houston 107
Neither team has announced which players will be available. But, considering it's the last game of the preseason, neither is likely to roll out many rotational pieces. I'll give the slight edge to OKC because it's the team with more depth.
