LiontipsDallas — Houston. Forecast and bets for the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Dallas got rid of Luka Doncic and sent him to the Lakers. In return, the Texas team received Anthony Davis and will now build a team around him. In the last match, Monobrow did not play on the floor, so Jason Kidd's team operated with the old squad. In the confrontation with Boston, they managed to succeed and beat the opponent with a score of 127:120. Clay Thompson became the best member of the Mavs, who managed to score 25 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Dallas continues to occupy the eighth place in the Western Conference standings. So far, everything is going according to plan and the Mavericks have a good chance of making the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Will not play: Caleb Martin, P.J. Washington, Derek Lively.
Interesting facts for betting
Dallas has been operating quite successfully on its own site this season. The Texas team won 14 out of 24 matches at home.
Approximate line–up: Gafford - Exham, Irving–Edwards, Thompson.
Current form
Houston didn't really change anything, because the team didn't need it. Aime Udoka's team continues to demonstrate excellent play and is considered one of the leaders of the Western Conference. At the moment, the Rockets have 32 wins and are fourth in the standings.
It's worth adding that the Texas team has been slowing down a bit lately. Houston posted a five-game losing streak. The last time the Rockets won was at the end of January, when they defeated Atlanta on the road (100:96).
Disqualifications and injuries
They won't play: Fred Vanvleet.
Questionable: Stephen Adams.
Interesting facts for betting
Houston is one of the best visiting teams in the West. This season, the Rockets have won 17 out of 28 matches outside their home walls. Only Oklahoma performs better.
Approximate composition: Sengan–Thompson, Green—Brooks, Eason.

1.85Tip and bets
Houston's losing streak has dragged on too long. It's time for the Rockets to interrupt it. It is possible that they will succeed, because Dallas is hardly a stable team. Despite the victory over Boston, we don't really believe in the success of the Mavericks. They recently lost to Philadelphia and Detroit. At a minimum, the guests will be able to resist the favorite.
Our forecast is for Houston with a handicap of (+5.5) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
Recently, Houston has not been happy with productive matches. In 2 of the 4 battles, the Rockets didn't even score 100 points. It looks like the meeting with Boston will not be too bright.
Forecast — total less than 228.5 points for 1.65
Betting on statistics
In the previous match, Thompson scored 25 points, but before that he didn't even score 20 points. Clay is likely to perform much worse in the next match.
Prediction — Klay Thompson: total less than 19.5 points in 1.78
