Aside from the first season when the Thunder arrived from Seattle making the move to Oklahoma City Thunder fans have been spoiled to a degree. They are some of the best fans in the league mind you but even they would be hard pressed to recognize their team with all the injuries they have suffered early in this 2014-15 season. All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have only been the tip of the iceberg the Thunder has hit. It has been a rough start to the season and seeing former Thunder star James Harden with Dwight Howard and the Rockets might just be adding salt to the wound. Rockets are off to a hot start unbeaten on the road in their first four outings and won their first 6 games before dropping a contest at home to the Warriors.
This game is set currently as the most expensive OKC Thunder tickets in November at an average price of $103 dollars. The Rockets are obviously a big draw and one of the teams the Thunder were expected to be battling for a top spot in Western Conference. Thanks to all the injuries the Thunder are just looking to get healthy and still have a chance at the playoffs but have seen ticket drop to as little as $15 on Totally Tickets for this Sunday’s matchup.
If we bust out the crystal ball and look way ahead to the NBA Playoffs could this be a first round match-up with a healthy Thunder taking on one of the top teams in West which Houston could be. It would be highly entertaining to consider. For now this is a game the Rockets would be highly favored to win. In terms of James Harden he will always be motivated to beat his former team you can take that to the bank. The Thunder could really use him these days that is for sure. Reggie Jackson has been the many the Thunder has been counting on to carry the load offensively. The Thunder even when healthy like most teams in the NBA has very few answers on how to stop Dwight Howard. He has started to return to the form he showed in Orlando after an experiment gone wrong with L.A Lakers.
