Their opponent is the one team that most consider destined for the bottom of the league: the Oklahoma City Thunder. OKC spent a decent amount of time last season trying to win games. By the time they realized they needed to be tanking, it was too late and they were unable to move into the bottom three. Still, they had dreams of moving to the top spot with their own pick, there was also a 48% chance of stealing Houston’s pick if it dropped to #5.
