Other notables on the odds to win the NBA All-Star Game MVP award at Bovada include John Wall at 15/1, DeMarcus Cousins at 20/1, and Kyle Lowry at 25/1. Dirk Nowitzki, a late addition to the Western roster, is back at 65/1 odds. Most of the other top contenders have understandably seen their odds drop. A few names further down the list that have improved include Kristaps Porzingis, John Wall, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Ben Simmons. Porzingis has scored 30+ in each of his first two games, but there’s literally no chance he wins the award.
The Houston Rockets (10-9) play the second end of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder (8-11) at Chesapeake Energy Arena Wednesday. Tip-off will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Rockets-Thunder NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Rockets at Thunder: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Rockets 113, Thunder 104
Money line (ML)
The Rockets (-280) should be able to win the second end of this two-game set with the Thunder but the fact Wall is sidelined doesn’t make me feel like tossing up more than two and a half times my potential return. PASS, and look to the spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The ROCKETS -6.5 (-110) roughed up the Thunder by a 136-106 score in the front end of the back-to-back Monday, but can they do it without Wall in the backcourt? His absence is offset with the Thunder missing Gilgeous-Alexander. I still like the visitors to pick up the road cover, but it won’t be nearly as easy as the first meeting.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 222.5 (-110) is definitely the play here. Wall dropped 18 points last time, and he is out. SGA dropped 19 for the home side, and he is also on the shelf. That’s a big chunk of offense in street clothes. After 242 total points in the first game, this second installment isn’t suddenly going to look like the pre-shot clock era, but you can expect a more reasonable total south of 220.
