1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers do not really believe in the success of Houston. BC experts consider Oklahoma the favorite of the upcoming match. The team from Texas shows excellent results in the current season compared to the disastrous last one and should finally break through to the playoffs after a long time. But in the confrontation with the leader of the conference, the team from the Lone Star State will fail. The Rockets played two very difficult matches with not the most formidable opponents on the road, in which they were able to achieve victory only in overtime. The Thunder must put the upstart from Texas in its place.
Our prediction is Oklahoma City to win with overtime at 1.78
Bet on total
Head-to-head matches between Houston and Oklahoma are usually not very productive. In the last ten games, the average score was 219 points. There are no prerequisites for the teams to pay more attention to the attack this time. The match should not be productive.
Our prediction is under 218.5 points including overtime at 2.09
Bet on the player
Gilgeous-Alexander played 75 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 30.1 points per game. This season, his numbers are almost the same — 29.8. The 26-year-old guard has shown with his game that he is capable of maintaining a decent level of scoring. The Canadian basketball player will have to demonstrate his sniper skills this time around.
Our prediction is Gilgeous-Alexander total points over 29.5 including overtime at 1.87
