Memphis has exceeded fans' expectations in the current championship. The Grizzlies, after several disastrous seasons, are showing excellent results this year. The same can be said about Houston. The provincial outsiders have transformed and are consistently in the top five of the Western Conference. In this situation, it is worth betting on the home team. Jenkins' charges will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is a Memphis victory with a handicap of (-3.5) points including overtime at 1.76
Bet on individual total
Memphis will put the optimal lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Indianapolis shows good performance this season. The average score is 123.6. And in home games it is the same - 123.2. And this time the Grizzlies will be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Memphis' individual total over 123.5 points including overtime for 2.03
Bet on the first half
Memphis has won the first quarter in eight of its last ten games against Houston. The Volunteer State basketball players will begin the game against the Rockets in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to New York. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory. The players of Jenkins' team will show who is the boss on the court from the first minutes of the game and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Memphis win in the first half of the game for 1.66
