The Houston Rockets have found a positive streak at the close of the 2018-2019 League season and come up with eight wins in their last 10 and a six-game winning streak that is the longest running streak. In addition, they are third in the West with a 53-28 mark and are in a position to overtake the Denver Nuggets to be second if there is a combination of results in their favor in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder has its safe postseason position to seek the Finals and eventually lift the Larry O’Brien trophy, but they have lost five of their most recent ten NBA games and have a three-game winning streak. they are currently in sixth place in their Conference with a score of 47-33, that is, with slight chances of climbing to fifth place, but latent chances of going down to seventh or eighth place, since they have practically the same mark as Spurs and Clippers.
Anyone who watches professional basketball in the United States knows that these squads have super stars in their ranks. On the one hand, James Harden, ‘The Beard’, which comes from being named MVP in the previous season and again has commanded the Texan box to be one of the best in the West. On the other, Russell Westbrook, who dominates the art of getting triple-doubles and has found in Paul George an optimal partner to turn the Thunder into a box aspiring to transcend in the Playoffs.
It goes without saying that few teams would like to face any of these teams in the postseason due to their explosiveness and offensive ability, but if nothing moves in the Western Conference, Houston vs. Oklahoma City would be precisely one of the first postseason clashes, so a win could be useful to avoid seeing the faces immediately in the next phase of the NBA.
Given the recent history of the Rockets and that could be seconds if Denver stumbles, we believe that ‘The Beard’ will command his team to a new victory and will be in excellent position to become the guard of the Golden State Warriors and favorite to measure up to them in the conference finals for a place in the NBA Finals.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
