Thunder at Rockets notable injuries

Rockets: Tari Eason is out due to an ankle sprain. Eric Gordon is questionable due to groin injury maintenance. Alperen Sengun is questionable due to a groin injury.
Advice and prediction
Both teams are coming off the first night of a back-to-back that saw them catch wins. Considering they’re both two of the youngest teams in the league, fatigue-ness should not play a huge factor in this.
“We’re a bunch of 20-year-old guys,” said Aleksej Pokusevski following their win against the Bulls when asked about fatigue concerns.
With that said, I think the Thunder win this game relatively easily. They’re simply a better and more in-sync team than the Rockets.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing like one of the best players in the league and that should continue against 28th-ranked defensive rating team.
Prediction: Thunder 127, Rockets 118
