1.87Tip and bets
Bookmaker analysts consider Houston to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Phoenix will not have much chance of success. That's the way it is. After several disastrous seasons, the Rockets are showing excellent results this year and for the first time in a long time they can get into the playoffs directly. The Suns are playing very unstable and can lose even to a minor outsider. Udoka's team will have to achieve a difficult victory with the support of their fans.
Our prediction is that Houston will win with a handicap of (-7.5) points in 2.01

The Rockets are averaging 109.4 points, 45.7 rebounds, 22.8 assists, 7.2 steals and 4.7 blocks per game, making 44.0% of their shots from the game. Their opponents are averaging 112.2 points per match. The Suns are averaging 116.1 points, 42.5 rebounds, 28.1 assists, 6.7 steals and 6.1 blocks per game, making 46.5% of their shots from the game.

Our forecast is a total of more than 225.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
Bet on the first half
Houston has won the first quarter in the last six out of eight meetings with Phoenix. The Rockets will try to take advantage of the opponent's fatigue from the long move from Arizona to Texas and knock him out at the start of the match.
