The Oklahoma City Thunder made a statement and kept themselves in the race for the top spot in the Western Conference by knocking off the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. The Thunder will attempt to carry that momentum into the second night of a back-to-back when they visit the Houston Rockets on Friday. Oklahoma City has been keeping Russell Westbrook (knee) out of back-to-backs and does not expect to play him on Friday.
The Thunder will still have Kevin Durant, who is aiming to tie Michael Jordan with his 40th straight outing of 25 or more points. Jordan is the only person in the last 50 years with at least that many consecutive 25-point outings, accomplishing the feat in the 1986-87 season. The Rockets, who have dropped three straight, have a few players of their own that are capable of putting up gaudy point totals and might perform better in this meeting with Westbrook and frequent antagonizer Patrick Beverley (knee) both due to watch from the bench.
LINE HISTORY: Suggested odds out of Vegas have the Rockets as 1-point faves with a total of 212.
INJURY REPORT: Thunder: N/A. Rockets: C Dwight Howard (Doubtful, ankle), G Patrick Beverley (Mid April, knee)
WHY BET THE THUNDER (55-19 SU, 40-32-2 ATS, 37-37 O/U): Oklahoma City came alive in the second half against San Antonio on Thursday. Durant scored 16 of his 28 after the break in the 106-94 win but did have one streak come to an end when he went 0-for-4 from 3-point range — the first time since March 2 he failed to connect from beyond the arc. The Thunder swept a three-game homestand but will play the next four and six of the final eight on the road as they attempt to close the gap on San Antonio, which leads the West by three games.
WHY BET THE ROCKETS (49-25 SU, 37-35-2 ATS, 38-34-3 O/U): Beverley is dealing with a torn meniscus — a similar injury to the one Westbrook suffered after being hit by Beverley in the playoffs last spring. The two were not shy about playing a physical game the last time the teams met, a 106-98 Thunder victory on March 11. Houston is also dealing with a nagging ankle injury to Dwight Howard as they try to hold off the Portland Trail Blazers for the No. 4 spot in the West. “All good teams have had their struggles,” James Harden told reporters after a 107-103 loss in Toronto on Wednesday. “Ours is coming late in the season and we’ve got to figure it out. All the top teams have been through a struggle like this.”
TRENDS:
* Thunder are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Under is 5-0 in Rockets last five Friday games.
* Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last four games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

2 UNIT = New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays - UNDER 8 RUNS (+104)
Listed Pitchers: Tanaka vs McGowan
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.08 units)
I will make the trip 2 hours north to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays home opener against the Yankees and their prize free agent pick up in starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. To give you an example of how good Takana can be, he was 24-0 last year in his Japan league with a 1.27 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. The righty is 25 years old and cashed in with a huge contract for himself. So far this spring he looks like exactly what the Yankees thought they were getting as he pitched 21 innings allowing just 5 runs with 26 strikeouts and just 3 walks. Batters hit just .190 against him and he had a 0.86 WHIP. Dustin McGowan is another pitcher for Toronto that most people outside of Toronto probably forgot about. McGowan made 27 starts in 2007 with the Blue Jays, but has since dealt with injuries. Last year he came back as a reliever for Toronto and held a 2.45 ERA over 25 appearances as he held opponents to a low .190 batting average. His official Spring Training stats have him at just 7 innings giving up 3 runs with 7 strikeouts, but he has also had a lot of success in Minor League games the Jays had him starting in to get stretched out. He should be good for somewhere around 85 pitches in the home opener if he is pitching well. The Blue Jays didn't use any of their top relievers Thursday night, so all should be available for the late innings as needed. Neither the Blue Jays or Yankees have done much at the plate to date, with the Jays hitting .205 as a team and the Yankees .200. This game has pitching duel written all over it, with neither team too familiar with the others starter. I'm on the UNDER.
