1.88Tip and bets
At the moment, Houston looks preferable: the team has gained shape, the rotation is deeper and more balanced. The optimal bet is for the Rockets to win the match, even on the road. The history of face-to-face meetings is in favor of Houston, who demonstrates better implementation and discipline in the endings. The Hornets narrowly held on to a victory over Atlanta at home, relying on the individual exploits of Miller and Ball. In addition, Charlotte has personnel problems on the perimeter and in defense (Kobe White and Liam McNeely are missing), which reduces rotation and increases the burden on the leaders. Houston's lineup is mostly intact, and playing through Alperen Shengyun in the three-second zone should steadily open up the Hornets' defense.
Our prediction is that Houston will win by a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.76
