Oklahoma showed in the preseason that it has character. In the match on October 18, they pulled out a 94-91 victory over the Denver Nuggets.

The hero was Usman Dieng (17 points), who, like a real sniper, sent a three-pointer into the ring under the siren. Of course, there were some leaders: Shay Gilges-Alexander (12 points) tore through the opponents' defense, and Chet Holmgren cemented the defense.

Now about Houston. The Rockets looked like real spaceships in the preseason—fast and powerful. Their last game against Atlanta ended in a 133-115 defeat. After an equal first half, the Rockets turned on the afterburner: the attack flew, the gears clicked like nuts.
The main star was Reed Sheppard, who scored 29 points, collected 6 rebounds, handed out 6 assists and made 4 steals. This is not just a rookie, this is a guy who is ready to tear up the NBA. Houston's deep rotation allowed them to dominate the second half, and the final 4-0 preseason record speaks for itself.

1.88Tip and bets
Oklahoma enters the floor with the advantage of a home arena and a steely defense. Their game is based around Gilges-Alexander. Holmgren and company are ready to hold the rear, and guys like Dieng can shoot at the right moment. It's going to be a tough match, but Oklahoma will prevail.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma will win with a handicap of (-4.5) points in 1.71
