This is a 10* on UNDER

The return of Russell Westbrook led to a very easy Game 5 victory for the Rockets. They won by 34, 114-80, and can now eliminate Westbrook’s former team for good. Westbrook didn’t even do much scoring Saturday. He had just 7 pts in 23 minutes of action. James Harden scored his usual 31 while the Rockets held the Thunder to 31.5% shooting overall and a woeful 7 of 46 on 3-pt attempts. It certainly didn’t help OKC’s cause that they lost Dennis Schroeder in the second quarter to an ejection. He had 19 points at the time he was tossed. While we certainly expect the Thunder to have a better offensive showing here than they did in Game 5, it won’t be enough to send this one Over. There’s been only one game in the series that the Thunder have scored more than 108 in regulation. Even Houston has averaged “only” 113.8 points/game for the series, including the one overtime loss. OKC is 22-10 Under this season with the total at 220 points or higher. Play on UNDER
