NBA Playoffs Odds & Lines

Game Preview
The Warriors have one break and are without pressure in Game 2 of the series. Playoff Jimmy showed up to score 25 with 7 boards and 6 assists and play a hell of a defense. Butler ended the night with 5 steals.
Steph Curry had a team-high 31 points, leading his Warriors to a win, alongside Butler, of course. Dub Nation allowed the Rockets to have 52 rebounds, 16 more than them, and still win.
Houston Rockets felt what it is like playing in the playoffs. They are not experienced enough, but on the other side, they have the tools to bounce back.
The big problem was the lack of scorers because Alperen Sengun had 26 points and was the only one who was competitive against the Warriors. Jalen Green ended the night with 3-for-15 from the field, and Fred Van Vleet had 4-for-19. Terrible.
Warriors vs. Rockets Head to Head
These teams met five times during the regular season, with the Warriors winning 3 and the Rockets 2 games.
Warriors vs. Rockets Game 2 Predictions
It seems that the Rockets’ players lack experience, though, we need to add that their shooting was terrible. We are pretty confident this won’t happen twice in a row, and Houston will win Game 2 to level the series.
