The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Houston Rockets at Frostbank Center on Tuesday.

The Rockets (25-32) have been one of the worst road teams in the NBA, posting a 5-22 record outside of Houston. That has single-handedly killed their season because they're probably not even going to finish the year with double-digit road victories. That's hard to do, especially with how good this team has looked at times this season. With that said, the Rockets come into this matchup losing seven of their last nine games. The recent slide has almost ruined any playoff chances this team had, but there are some promising signs for the future. Alperen Sengun looks like a stud, while youngsters like Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith look like great young players in the making.

The Thunder (40-17) had some high expectations coming into the year, and they've surpassed almost all of them. This club is tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the best record in the Western Conference, and many people have OKC pegged to land that spot. What's scary is that this is just the start of their potential dynasty because all of these studs are 25 or younger. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the frontrunners for MVP, while Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren have been stellar as well. They also have plenty of first-round picks in the coming year, and there's no franchise in a better spot over the next decade than this Thunder team.

These teams have split both of their matchups this season, but both were in Houston. With that said, OKC has won three of their last four games over Houston by an average of 27 points per game.
