Houston

The Rockets were not very stable for the rest of the main tournament. However, in the series against Oklahoma, they were considered as favorites, especially since the team started with a fairly confident victory (123-108).

“Houston” did not stop there and continued to dominate on the floor. The club approached the second meeting in a good mood and left the rival again with nothing (111-98), though that was all over.

Neither the good team play of Michael D'Anton's charges nor the individual actions of James Harden helped in the next two fights, because they ended in defeats. Yet the team is missing Russell Westbrook, which continues to recover from injury.

Oklahoma

“Thunder” played quite coolly, because firstly they let the opponent win and then, when “Houston” relaxed, they took their toll. At the beginning of the first round, the team did not look like themselves at all, resulting in two defeats in a row.

Of course, Chris Paul and company did not like this alignment, so in the third meeting there was a turning point when Oklahoma beat the Rockets (119-107) in overtime. In the next confrontation, history repeated itself, albeit during regular time.

As you can see, the “thunders” struck in time, because the score in the series was leveled and now every victory is worth its weight in gold, so a real battle awaits us.

Prediction

Oklahoma showed character in time and showed that it is worth reckoning with. Billy Donovan's team turned out to be not such an easy opponent, so the score in the series was drawn.

It's hard for Houston without Russell Westbrook, but at the start of the playoffs, James Harden made the weather alone, so you shouldn't underestimate the Rockets leader. In our opinion, Michael D'Antoni's guys will gather their strength again into a fist and show "Thunder" who is the favorite of the series. In short, we offer a bet on the victory of the "missiles".

Our prediction - the victory of the Houston Rockets, taking into account OT, for the odds of 1.66 in the 1xBet
