Houston is playing a great game at home. The team has already reached the playoffs, but it's too early to relax - the Lakers are breathing down their backs, and they obviously don't want to lose second place. The Rockets intend to prove that they can fight the leader of the West.
Oklahoma goes out on the floor every time and shows fantastic basketball. It seemed that after reaching the playoffs, the thunder would slow down, and the coach would rest key players, but instead the team gave out 11 wins in a row. In our opinion, even the home arena won't help the Rockets stop the visitors.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma will win with a handicap of (-6) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
We are waiting for a confrontation between two attacking teams in excellent shape. Houston will want to create a sensation, but Oklahoma is unlikely to allow itself to be beaten even on the road. The leader of the West will dominate and dictate a high tempo. We expect that the total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total more than 229.5 points in 1.72
