Prediction
Bookmakers' experts consider "Houston" the clear favorite in the upcoming match. It's worth agreeing with them. The team from Texas demonstrates through their gameplay that they intend to at least make it to the play-in. The chances for this are quite good. "Washington," on the other hand, has already lost even its mathematical chances and is simply finishing the season. The "Rockets" should have no problem dealing with a weaker opponent with the support of their fans. Our prediction is a victory for "Houston" with a handicap (-6.5) points including overtime at 1.71. "Houston" approaches the upcoming match without any significant losses. With their leaders in the lineup, the "Rockets" have not shown very high scoring efficiency this season. Their average points scored is 112.8, slightly higher at home with 115.7. However, a team with a lone star should be able to load up the basket quite well against a weaker opponent. Our prediction is the individual total points for "Houston" to be over 118.5 with overtime included at 1.99. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.71.
