Tip and bets

2.85Houston to win

Phoenix Suns are considered the clear favorites of the match by the bookmakers. But Houston Rockets are approaching the game with the strongest line-up. All leaders are healthy and motivated, including team's best scorer, Jalen Green. Texas team has just recorded a victory over Milwaukee and should be able to at least put up a fight to the Phoenix Suns, who will be without Booker and Johnson.

Our prediction - Houston to win the match

1.71Total under 230,5 points

The Milwaukee Bucks average 117 points per game at home in the current season, while Golden State score 114 per game on away. Only in one of two head-to-head games of the previous season teams managed to beat the 230-point mark. We are expecting a close encounter without too many points scored.

Our second bet is on total under 230,5 points
