Rockets at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 123, Rockets 110
Moneyline
PASS.
The Warriors should be able to secure the victory at home, but betting them straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds (-500).
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -10.5 (-105).
The Rockets are in full tank mode with Green and Porter sidelined. Houston is also 10-20 ATS on the road and Golden State is 17-11-1 ATS at home this season.
Over/Under
Even with Green and Porter out for the Rockets, the Warriors should have F Klay Thompson on the back-to-back, making the OVER 231.5 (-108) an enticing bet. Golden State plays at the fastest pace in the league, and Houston has the 3rd-worst defensive rating in the NBA.
The Rockets are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record, and the Warriors have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games following an ATS loss.
