The Houston Rockets are on the brink of advancing to the next round of the playoffs as star player Russel Westbrook returns from injury.

The Rockets won by a commanding margin 114-80, as James Harden led the way for the Rockets with 31 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists. Robert Convington chimed in 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Key player Russel Westbrook returned from injury to face his former team, after missing the past 4 games. Westbrook provided a spark, scoring 7 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds.

For the Thunder Dennis Schröder led in scoring with 19 points, who was ejected alongside PJ Tucker for an altercation. Most of the Thunder players didn't play well. Game 6 will be played tomorrow.

Opinions

The Thunder will be doing everything they can to try and extend the series to 7 games, but with Westbrook back in the lineup for the Rockets, he can be the difference the Rockets need to win the series. Our prediction in this post was on point once again. We predicted the Rockets winning if Wesbtrook returns and produces.

Predictions:

For Game 6, I think the Thunder will bounce back strong, but Houston will win it in the end.

What is your predictions for Game 6? Will the Thunder extend the series or Houston advances? Let's discuss in the comments below.
