Prediction for the NBA match between Indiana vs Houston, which will take place on February 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Indiana

In their last game, the Pacers went to face Eastern Conference underdog Charlotte and took care of a modest opponent, breaking a three-game losing streak. 115-99 - Tyrese Haliburton didn't seem to be back to his best, finishing with just 17 points and four assists. But rookie Pascal Siakam was at his best with 25 points and nine assists. Indiana's record is currently 28-23. Rick Carlisle's team is in sixth place in the East and continues to fight for a direct playoff ticket, bypassing the play-in round.

Houston

In their last game, the Rockets met with Minnesota, one of the leaders in the Western Conference, and failed 90-111. Alperen Sengun was the only player to be praised in that game, adding ten rebounds to his 15 points. Ime Udoka's team suffered their eighth loss in the last 12 games. Houston is 11th in the West, just 1.0 wins out of the top 10, but does not look like a favorite in the play-in race.

Expert Betting Tips

Houston still has a poor road record, with nine losses in its last 12 games. Indiana is a much more consistent team, having won eight of their previous 11 matches at home. We'll take the Pacers to beat Houston for the second time this season and the Rockets to underachieve - Udoka's slow-paced positional basketball doesn't always work. Statistically, we'll take the three-pointer over the Rockets.
