1.88Tip and bets
"Minnesota" did not meet the expectations of the fans in the current championship. Houston, on the contrary, after several frankly disastrous seasons this year, is close to making it to the playoffs directly for a long time. But it will be difficult for the Rockets to beat the opponent after several consecutive away matches. Long flights affect the physical condition of the players. Finch's players will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our forecast is a Minnesota victory, taking into account overtime in 1.97
Betting on an individual total
"Minnesota" will have to release an almost optimal composition to the site. With all the leaders on the floor, the Minneapolis team is showing decent performance this season. The average score is 111.6. And in games at home it is the same — 111.2. And this time the Timberwolves will be able to decently load the opponent's basket.
Our forecast is that Minnesota's individual total is over 107.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
Bet on the first half
Minnesota has won the first half in the last six games against Houston. The basketball players from the North Star State will start the game with the Rockets in a good mood after a successful duel with Chicago. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve another victory. Finch's team's players will show from the first minutes of the meeting who is in charge on the floor and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win in the first half of the game in 2.16
