Golden State fought like lions in the sixth game and were one step away from overtime, but the fourth quarter was fatal for them.

1.87Tip and bets
Houston caught his wave: Vanvleet conducts, Shengyun breaks the protection under the ring, Green and Brooks add fire. Their youth, the depth of the squad and the home parquet are like an ace up their sleeve. Golden State is based on two pillars — Curry and Butler, who pull like Titans. The sixth match showed that they can bite, but the fourth quarter revealed their vulnerability. Bookmakers bet on the Rockets, seeing them as favorites, but don't rush to write off the Warriors. Curry is a wizard who can turn the game around with one throw, and Butler is a winner's mentality who doesn't give up. In the seventh match, experience and champion spirit can outweigh youth enthusiasm. Curry and Butler will come out with their eyes burning like torches and snatch the victory. Bookmakers underestimate Californians, and this is their chance to surprise.
Our prediction is that Golden State will win with a handicap of (-1.5) points, including overtime in 2.30
Bet on the total
The series began with grassroots games: the first three matches fell short of 204 points, as if the teams were playing chess instead of basketball. But the last three meetings lit up — from 215 points and above, like a real firework. Bookmakers are rushing around, not knowing what to expect. The Rockets shot a maximum of 131 points, the Warriors — 116. In the seventh match, with Houston's home drive and Curry's sniper aim, I expect the teams to disperse and break the 210-point mark. It's going to be like a Wild West shootout.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 210.5 points, including overtime in 2.35
The bet on the player
Curry shot 23 times and scored 29 points in the sixth game, but he was held to 20 points or less three times in this series. It's like keeping a tiger in a cage, but in the seventh match, the Olympic champion of Paris will break the shackles. Curry is a player of big moments, and in the decisive game he will come out like a rock star to light up the floor and take the Warriors to the quarterfinals. We expect three-point shots from him and more than 26.5 points.
Our prediction is a total of 26.5 more Curry points in 1.87
