LiontipsHouston vs Oklahoma. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Houston started to surprise everyone recently. After a long losing streak Silas' men recorded two consecutive victories. In the first match Houston beat Chicago (118:113) and then managed to outscore Charlotte (146:143). Hornets were beaten in overtime, so Rockets wasted much energy.
Christian Wood is still the leader of Houston. In the previous match he scored 33 points and collected 16 rebounds. Without his successful performance it would be hard for the Rockets to beat the opponents.
After a few successful matches Oklahoma started to lose again. Now Thunder are on a five-game losing streak. But we should note that they played against strong opponents. It is not a surprise that Daignault's men were beaten by Washington and Utah.
Oklahoma plays defensively now. Daignault is trying to build a solid defensive team. But because of that their matches are not so fun to watch.

Tip and bets
Oklahoma is a complete opposite of Charlotte. Daignault's men won't go all the way ahead. They won't give too much space to Houston under the rim. Rockets' offense is not the best one in the league, so we don't think that they will break Thunder's defense. We think that defensive strategy will bring a success to the Thunder in this match.
Our prediction - Oklahoma to win (Including OT)
We are not expecting a high-scoring game from two underdogs. We offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 218,5 points
