LiontipsPhoenix - Houston: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
They stumbled along, but they didn't stop. Phoenix took four wins in a row, but then stumbled twice, as if it had stumbled upon an invisible barrier of fate. On March 29, the Suns traveled to Minnesota's lair and returned with a 109-124 loss. They fought, but lost three quarters, and then, in the last act, they snatched a symbolic victory — plus two points. Alas, it's too late.
Kevin Durant looked the best among the losers, like an ancient warrior who continued to fight even when the battle was already lost. 23 points is his tribute to the resistance. Collin Gillespie added 22, and Royce Onil added 21. Mark Budenholzer and his team are now in 11th place in the Western Conference, teetering on the edge of the abyss: 35 wins, 39 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries

1.87Tip and bets
The bookies don't believe in Phoenix. Unless it's a miracle. But miracles are the prerogative of other stories. Houston accelerated like a locomotive, picked up speed and did not intend to slow down. For the first time in a long time, they are really fighting for the playoffs. But Sanz is a storm in a glass of water: the force is there, but the direction is lost.
Our prediction: Houston will win by a handicap (-3.5) points, including overtime in 2.01

Each meeting of these teams is a firework. 233 points on average over the last ten matches. Defense? What kind of defense? They shoot here, balls fly here, and two gladiators, Durant and Shengyun— go to battle here.
Our betting tip: the total is more than 226.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player

Our betting tip: Shengyun's total rebounds is more than 11.5 in 1.87
