Game Preview
The Warriors have been inconsistent lately, winning just two of their previous five events. Though, their schedule was ultra-hard, with them meeting teams like the Suns, Nuggets, Rockets, and Timberwolves in back-to-back events.
Golden State is the second-best rebounding team in the NBA, with 48.7 boards per event. They have seven guys averaging 4.3 or more rebounds, with Kevon Looney leading the way with 7.9.
Now, the top rebounding team in the NBA is the Houston Rockets, with 49.9 rebounds each night. They have 14.2 offensive boards, which proves their energy and aggressiveness on the offensive side of the ball.
Jalen Green is becoming a superstar, while Alperen Sengun has the potential to become an All-NBA center. It’s no wonder why his nickname is “Baby Jokic.”
Warriors vs. Rockets Head to Head
The Warriors won the opening game against the Rockets in Texas following overtime, 127-121. Meanwhile, the second one was less than a week ago in the Bay Area, where Curry and the boys beat the rivals once again, 99-93.
Warriors vs. Rockets Prediction
This game is an elimination one, and we expect to see a bit more organized and tactical approach from both teams. Knowing that the previous encounter between the Warriors and the Rockets finished with fewer than 200 points, this one should be under 221.5, which is the line for the totals.
- Warriors vs. Rockets pick: Under 221.5 points
