In a grind-it-out game that came down to the final seconds, the Houston Rockets narrowly outlasted the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, helping to close the gap on the Western Conference’s No. 1 spot.

A pair of top two teams battle as the West-leading Thunder visit a Rockets team off to its best start through 20 games since 2017-18 ( 7 p.m. ET, NBA League Pass ). Houston’s rise began late last season as the Rockets made a push for the SoFi Play-In Tournament.

The Thunder (-1.5) blew out the Rockets last month in Oklahoma City, but they’re without Chet Holmgren and more for Sunday’s rematch in Houston.

The Rockets will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They are set to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 7:00 p.

The Cleveland Cavaliers get another shot at the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in a Sunday evening matchup of the Eastern Conference’s two best teams.
