Houston - Orlando: NBA match betting tip and bets

Current form

In recent days, Houston has never ceased to amaze. Two matches— two wins. On March 9, the Rockets staged a real rout of New Orleans on their floor, winning with a score of 146:117. This is probably the best match of the season. The main role in this triumph was played by Dillon Brooks, who literally tore apart the opponents' defense, scoring 27 points, making 4 rebounds and 3 assists. But not only him, of course. Alperen Shengyun and Aaron Holiday also hit the basket, each scoring 20 points. Amen Thompson scored a double-double (15 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists). Jaylen Greene and Jabari Smith also contributed, with 14 points each! Aime Udoka's team — 39 wins and 25 losses, confidently occupies the 5th place in the Western Conference. This season promises to be one of the most exciting for the Rockets.

Disqualifications and injuries

However, it's not that simple. In the upcoming match, Houston will play without two key players — Fred Vanvleet and Amen Thompson. The squad is weakened, of course, but the spirit of the team cannot be broken.

Interesting facts for betting

Interestingly, the Rockets and Magic have averaged 217 points in their last ten meetings. This gives us hope that the match will be full of attacks and emotions again.

Approximate composition: Aaron Holiday, Jaylen Greene, Jabari Smith, Dillon Brooks, Alperen Shengyun.

Current form

And here's Orlando—they're not standing by either. On March 9, they finally broke the losing streak by beating Milwaukee 111-109. It was such a tense match, but the Magic did everything they could to get back into the fight. Paolo Bankero is the main character of this victory. 29 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists are impressive stats. Cole Anthony was not far behind, scoring 22 points, Franz Wagner added 18, and Anthony Black scored 11. As a result, Jamal Mosley's team (30 wins and 35 losses) occupies the 8th place in the Eastern Conference and will fight for entry into the playoffs.

Disqualifications and injuries

But here's not the best news for the Magic—Jaylen Suggs is out with a knee injury and will miss the rest of the season. This will certainly weaken the team, but Orlando's determination should not be discounted here either.

Interesting facts for betting

By the way, the Magic are outsiders in three—point shooting this season, ranking 30th with a 30.7% percentage. It's pretty strange for a team that's fighting for the playoffs, but maybe it's in Texas that they'll be able to improve these stats.

The approximate line-up: Cole Anthony, Kentavius Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, Paolo Bankero, Wendell Carter.
