Game Preview
The Warriors had a nice chance to secure the West semis against the Timberwolves, but they wasted it. Steve Kerr’s unit was always behind the Rockets, trying to take over the result, yet without success.
Curry had 29 points, while Jimmy Butler added 27 with 9 boards and 8 assists. The rest of the starters combined for 13 points.
The Rockets are a +53 with Steven Adams on the floor this series, and -39 without him.

Fred VanVleet, the experienced veteran, once again shined with 29 points, 6-for-9 for three, while Alperen Sengun scored 21 with 14 boards and six assists. He was the key to the win here.

Warriors vs. Rockets Game 7 Predictions
This will be a tough one in terms of who wins, which is why we distance ourselves from that. Our betting pick here is Over 201.5 points, which is the over/under line, because we simply see that the teams adapted to one another, and there’s no room for improving the defense. It’s all up to the attack now. That’s the reason for three consecutive overs.
