1.85Tip and bets
Detroit is very unstable in away games, so we doubt a successful outcome for the team. Most likely, the guests will not surprise with anything special in Arizona. If they lost to Utah at home, then something similar can be expected in the next confrontation.
Our prediction is Phoenix with a handicap of (-4.5) points at 1.73
Bet on total
Both teams have been showing strong attacking play lately. For example, Detroit scored 119 points in the previous match. It looks like the head-to-head match will be a high-scoring one.
Forecast - total over 220.5 points for 1.60
Bet on statistics
Durant has scored at least 30 points in 2 of his last 3 games. Kevin is likely to show a similar game.
Prediction - Kevin Durant: Total over 27.5 points for 1.78
