Think Thunder get their ass handed to them again at Houston? Are should we lay the -3 on the Thunder to bounce back if they have any heart.

This is a very interesting line and matchup today...
The Thunder have won the previous two meetings by over 20 points this season. This line seems VERY short considering this information.
Also, the Thunder are 8-3 SU and 10-0-1 ATS when playing on 5+ days rest. At first glance, this game SCREAMS at you - take the Thunder. But a lot of times in this sport, when it screams that loud, something is up...
Every other trend I have come across today says take Houston, which is starting to make me think that Houston is the play. Not sure if I will play this game, but if I do, I'm feeling that Houston is probably the right side. That said, hard to bet against the Thunder in this spot - coming off two losses and a long break...

FWIW. Source from yahoo news.
Feb 20 Kendrick Perkins will miss Wednesday's game against Houston, after suffering a right knee sprain during Tuesday's practice, The Oklahoman reports.
Recommendation (for fantasy bb players): Perkins is probably playing his best ball of the season in seven February tilts, averaging 6.9 points (on 59.5 percent shooting), 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 2.0 assists, and 0.9 steals in 25.7 minutes. In his absence, expect Nick Collison to enter the starting five. Meanwhile, Perkins is considered day-to-day.

Saw that earlier today, although the beat writer for the Thunder says Thabeet will start in his place. I think they really like Collison coming off the bench...
