Houston

Almost every season, the Rockets are among the main contenders for the championship, but something always prevents the team from showing itself properly.

The management of the club invited Russell Westbrook from Oklahoma to lead the team to the final and compete for gold medals together with James Harden. Michael D'Antoni's wards passed the Thunder in the first series of the playoffs, although they had to try hard.

In the second round, Houston faced the Lakers and so far things are not going well. The rivals held three meetings, although the Rockets celebrated the victory only in one of them. The team is aiming to equalize the score in the series and since there are no special problems, a real battle awaits us.

Lakers

Although the “Lakes” are not as spectacular as during the regular season, they are generally satisfied with the result. The team dealt with Portland without any problems in the first series of the playoffs and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The Lakers are playing for the final of the West with Houston and have already held three meetings. LeBron James and Anthony Davis did their best to be comfortable before their fourth bout, although they lost to the Rockets at the start (97-112).

Frank Vogel's guys are well aware that now is the moment when you can put the squeeze on your opponent, though you can hardly count on an easy victory, because after two defeats in a row, the "rockets" are motivated more than ever.

Prediction

Houston had weak last two meetings, so it's time to remind ourselves again. As predicted, the Lakers came forward in the series, but it's too early to relax, because there are at least two more matches ahead.

We assume that Michael D'Antoni's guys will play aggressively and force the opponent to act at high speeds, so we expect an effective confrontation.

Our prediction is total over 216.5 points for 1.68 odds in bookmaker 1xBet
