Tip and bets
On paper— the owners have a slight advantage. The Rockets just soundly defeated the Pelicans, showing excellent defense, dispersing the attack with Shengyun as the main conductor. The Knicks lost to the Thunder on the road, although Brunson tried to pull the team on his shoulders. In face—to-face meetings this season, the Rockets have a slight 3-1 advantage, but they look much more confident at home. Houston's injuries are minimal. New York has Miles McBride and Landry Chamette in question.
Our prediction is that Houston will win in 1.85
